Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) Use firewalls

Firewalls are primarily used for network security, controlling incoming and outgoing traffic to prevent unauthorized access. They are not directly related to maintaining anonymity, unlike encrypted search engines, fake email services, or file shielders, which are designed specifically to protect user privacy and anonymity.
