Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) stopping other sites from displaying images

The best I can explain: Hotlink protection is a kind of tool. Hotlink protection is related to restricting HTTP, it stops other sites from displaying images of your webpage. We can create a list of hostnames that can access the resources of our website.
