Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A well-defined usability task uses a realistic scenario and goal (''find a suited smartphone within your $200 budget with infrared sensor and order it''), without prescribing exact clicks. This lets you observe how users naturally navigate, search, and complete the order process - directly measuring the main goal of placing an order.
