• D

Explanation

Option B is correct because a cloud-based bookmark service (like Delicious or Google Bookmarks) stores the link on a remote server, making it accessible from any browser on any device - desktop or mobile - as long as you're signed in.

• A is wrong because human memory is unreliable for exact URLs, and this doesn't help across devices in a practical, repeatable way.
• C is wrong because manually entering the URL into every browser on every device is tedious, error-prone, and doesn't scale - adding a new device means doing it all over again.
• D is wrong because it relies on the original message remaining accessible and easy to find, which is fragile (messages get buried, deleted, or may require a specific app).

Memory tip: Think "cloud = everywhere." The key phrase in the question is "desktop computer OR mobile device while away from your desk" - any answer that requires you to be at a specific device or remember something manually fails the "everywhere" test. Only a cloud-synced service satisfies both conditions simultaneously.
