Authentication when browsing
 

Can anyone tell me what is the right answer for this question
I was told the answer is B but I does not seem right.

You recently bought a retail copy of Windows XP Professional for your own personal home use. You enjoy using it and are learning new features. As you surf the Web, you notice that you have to authenticate and reauthenticate at several different sites. What can you do so that you might not have to authenticate and reauthenticate at different Web sites?
A-Enable cookies in your browser
B-Sign up for .NET Passport services
C-Disable cookies in your browser
D-Set the security level for the Internet zone to Low

I think the question did not mention it clearly because it did not say the
web sites are from Microsoft.

Hotmail, msn, etc would be fine with answer B

answer A can be correct if you enable your cookie, the web site will
remember you have been to web site. such as Ebay, yahoo...

answer C is not correct. disable cookie will persuade authentication every
time.

answer D I think it will not help the web site to remember you.

So, I think the answer is A, B
