Which term refers to a modular piece of content that can be added to specific areas of a website?

• A. Plugin
• B. Widget
• C. Theme
• D. Module

Answer: (B)

Modular content blocks that you can drop into designated areas of a website are called widgets. They’re small, self-contained units that render a specific piece of content or a function—like a search box, recent posts, a weather widget, or a calendar—and you place them in widget-ready regions such as sidebars or footers. This design lets you mix and match different blocks on different pages or sections without altering the rest of the site, giving flexible, page-specific content.

A plugin adds broader functionality across the site, not just a single area. A theme controls the appearance and layout, while a module is a general software piece that extends capabilities but isn’t inherently a movable page content block.
