• C. To store video files and playlists.
• D. To manage library cataloging.

Answer: (B)

The purpose of eBooks is to provide digital versions of books that can be read or listened to on devices. This makes accessing books flexible and portable, with features like adjustable text size, search, and bookmarking, and sometimes built-in narration for listening. This combination of accessibility and convenience is what distinguishes eBooks from physical books—people can carry many titles in one device and tailor readings to their needs. They aren’t meant to replace all printed books, they aren’t primarily for storing videos or playlists, and they aren’t a system for library cataloging.
