B Correct answer
Explanation

Usability doesn't guarantee accessibility. A site can be highly usable for some users (clear interface, good workflow) but completely inaccessible to others (no keyboard navigation, missing ARIA labels, no alt text). They're separate concerns.

AI explanation

Usability and accessibility are related but distinct concepts. Usability measures how easy and efficient a site is to use for a typical user, while accessibility specifically measures whether people with disabilities (visual, motor, auditory, cognitive) can perceive and operate the site — e.g., via screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or captions. A site can be highly usable for sighted, mouse-using visitors yet completely inaccessible to a screen-reader user (missing alt text, no keyboard focus order, etc.). So 'a usable site is accessible' is False — usability doesn't guarantee accessibility; they require separate, deliberate design effort.
