Solution(By Examveda Team)

A file has a filename and an extension and these are usually written with a dot between them as a delimiter. This description tells us that the dot is not a part of the extension but when stating extension we usually include the dot.

    Yes, answer is d. Because file extension should be after dot, not before dot.

    Answer d
    The file extension comes before the dot(.) followed by the file name statements is FALSE.

    The exact definition, giving the criteria for deciding what part of the file name is its extension, belongs to the rules of the specific filesystem used; usually the extension is the substring which follows the last occurrence, if any, of the dot character (example: txt is the extension of the filename readme. A filename extension is an identifier specified as a suffix to the name of a computer file.

    The extension indicates a characteristic of the file contents or its intended use. A file extension is typically delimited from the filename with a full stop (period), but in some systems it is separated with spaces.



    Some file systems implement filename extensions as a feature of the file system itself and may limit the length and format of the extension, while others treat filename extensions as part of the filename without special distinction.
