In which year were all networks created for military use abandoned and replaced by the National Science Foundation
Correct answer: B. 1989
- A. 1979
- B. 1989
- C. 1969
- D. 1959
Explanation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the creation of NSFNET in 1985. NSFNET became a major part of the internet backbone in the late 1980s, and the ARPANET (the first network created by the Department of Defense) was decommissioned in 1990. This transition did not happen in a single year, but by the late 1980s, most military networks had switched to NSFNET
