Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The link: operator in search engines shows backlinks that are specifically indexed by that search engine, not all backlinks across the entire web. This is a crucial distinction because search engines don't index every page on the internet. Option A is incorrect because it suggests the link operator shows all backlinks universally. Option C confuses the link operator with a direct URL lookup, while Option D describes a different SEO tool for analyzing anchor text.
