  2. The student's computer will not be visible on the Internet.
  3. The websites the student visits will not be stored in the browser history.

Explanation
Correct Response: C. The purpose of private browsing mode it to keep any evidence of browsing activities from being stored on a device after the private browsing session is closed. Such evidence includes browser history and saved cookies. A is incorrect because during a private browsing session, email can still be sent and received. B and D are incorrect because private browsing does not provide the anonymity protections of a virtual private network or proxy server, such as blocking visibility of the computer from the Internet (B), or disassociating Internet activities from the computer being used (D).
