When browsing a website (https://example.com), the contents displayed on the smartphone and the computer are different. Which statement below is not the cause?

Choose one option.
Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. Because the content of the website was tampered by a communication path.

Options A, B, and D are all legitimate technical reasons why a website displays differently on smartphone vs. computer. Option C (tampering by a communication path) is not a cause of intentional display differences—it would be a security breach, not a design choice. Tampering is an attack, not a feature implementation or responsive design mechanism.

Step-by-step Derivation:
Analyzing each option:

  • A) Correct cause: JavaScript can render different content based on device/viewport
  • B) Correct cause: User-Agent headers allow servers to serve device-specific layouts
  • D) Correct cause: Responsive design (CSS media queries, flexible layouts) adapts content to screen size
  • C) Incorrect cause: Tampering is a security compromise, not a legitimate reason for intentional design differences. It would corrupt the communication, not intentionally show different content. The question asks for the statement that is NOT a cause of the legitimate difference in display.
