[Year 12 IT Apps] VITTA Practice Exam 2 Multiple Choice Question 6

[jtabone at aitkencollege.edu.au]

Hi all


Just to let everyone know, I posted two questions regarding
clarification to the solutions VITTA Exam Sample 2 - can you please
note that I purchased the copies of the VITTA exam papers and I feel
I need to clarify this due to the unfortunate timing on my
questions.

Cheers
