¬	Select the browser options.

Browsers display lists of data and allow users to select items from the list. They can hold one-dimensional lists or hierarchically organized lists of data such as directory paths. Browsers display these hierarchical levels in columns, which users can navigate using buttons or scrollers. An entry in a column can be either a leaf node or a branch node. Leaf nodes terminate a path; branch nodes, which have a right-arrow icon, lead into the next level in the hierarchy. A browser's attributes affect its navigation controls, methods of selection, and appearance.
