Question

question 3 of 10
which of the following filenames is acceptable on both windows and mac operating systems?
a. bio 201/lab_report
b. bio-201_lab_report
c. bio-201_lab_report*
d. bio-201_lab_report

Explanation:

• In Windows, the character / is not allowed in filenames as it is used as a path separator. So option A is incorrect.
• In both Windows and Mac, the character * is a wildcard character and cannot be used in filenames. So option C is incorrect.
• Option B has an underscore at the wrong place (after the hyphen - it should be a proper naming without an extra underscore in that position in a standard sense for such naming conventions). Option D BIO - 201_Lab_Report has no characters that are restricted in either Windows (restricted characters in Windows include /, \, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |) or Mac (Mac has some restrictions like not allowing :, but this filename has none of the restricted characters for Mac either in a basic filename context).

Answer:

D. BIO - 201_Lab_Report
