The internet grew out of ARPANET, a 1960s network funded by which part of the U.S. government?
The answer is A: The Department of Defense
ARPANET was built by the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, and its first message was sent in 1969 between UCLA and Stanford. That military-funded research network is the direct ancestor of the internet you use today.
