A benefit to customers of Internet sales is that?

• A. Secure protocols are standard on most sites
• B. Payment is often by credit card
• C. Membership fees are required
• D. Very little data is transferred during a sale

Answer: (B)

Online shopping is built around convenient, widely accepted payment options, and credit card payments fit that need perfectly. They’re quick to complete at checkout, widely supported across merchants, and offer buyer protections like dispute rights if something goes wrong. That combination—ease, speed, and consumer safeguards—makes paying by credit card a clear benefit for customers in Internet sales.

The other ideas aren’t as central to the customer advantage. Secure protocols are essential for safety, but they’re more about keeping any online transaction private rather than a direct customer benefit of Internet sales itself. Membership fees aren’t a requirement for most online purchases, and a sale actually involves transferring significant data (like shipping address and payment details), not very little data.
