Explanation

Web 2.0 describes the evolution of the internet into interactive, user-generated, and collaborative platforms - wikis, social media, blogs, and photo sharing are all hallmark examples, which is exactly what the school's wiki and Facebook contributions represent. Mashup (A) is wrong because it refers specifically to combining data or APIs from multiple sources into a single application (e.g., overlaying Yelp reviews on Google Maps), not general collaborative web use. Web 1.0 (B) is the opposite - it describes the early, static, read-only web where users consumed content but couldn't contribute. Folksonomy (D) is a specific Web 2.0 feature - user-generated tagging and categorization systems (like hashtags or Delicious bookmarks) - not a collective term for this type of web usage.

Memory tip: Think "Web 2.0 = 2-way interaction" - users both receive and create content, just like contributing to a wiki or posting photos on social media.
