Correct answer is (b)

Your score on this question is: 11.11

Feedback:

An interactive program listens for events and reacts to them. The reaction usually involves some redrawing of the screen. Because a responsive program needs to listen for events constantly, even while it does other things, this event-redraw loop has to be the main construct of the program into which all other functions are incorporated.

If you use the same toolkits, all of the programs you write will have interfaces with a similar look and feel.

The Internet requires that we use the prescribed open-standard UI toolkits.
