What does GUID stand for?

  1. General Unique Identifier

  2. Globally Unique Identifier

  3. General Unified Identifier

  4. Great Unique Identifier

The correct answer is: Globally Unique Identifier

A) "General Unique Identifier" is incorrect because the GUID is not just a general identifier, but a specific type of identifier. C) "General Unified Identifier" is incorrect because the term "unified" is not used in the acronym "GUID". D) "Great Unique Identifier" is incorrect because "great" is not a word typically used in technical terminology. Furthermore, "globally" specifies the wide usage of the identifier more accurately.
