Which term is used to describe small units of text that are stored on a client computer and retrieved to maintain state?
A . trace
B . cookie
C . server transfer
D . cross-page post

Answer: B

Explanation:

HTTP is a stateless protocol. This means that user data is not persisted from one Web page to the next in a Web site. One way to maintain state is through the use of cookies. Cookies store a set of user specific information, such as a reference identifier for a database record that holds customer information.
