Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The US Department of State is engaged in e-business with citizens (C) through its provision of travel information on its website. As the department is providing information to citizens, it is engaged in Government-to-Citizen (G2C) e-business. A and B are incorrect because e-business does not require the sale of products or services, and the Department of State's provision of information to non-Americans does not preclude it from engaging in e-business. C is incorrect because there is no business transaction taking place between the Department of State and citizens.
