Why each option

To prevent third parties from tracking web pages, a user should remove cookies and clear their browsing history within the internet browser settings.

ASelect form data

Selecting form data is not an action; clearing it would remove saved form inputs, which doesn't primarily prevent web page tracking by third parties.

BDisable location services

Disabling location services prevents websites from accessing your geographical location, which is distinct from preventing tracking of visited web pages.

CRemove cookiesCorrect

Removing cookies deletes small files websites store on your computer, which are often used for tracking user activity, preferences, and session management across sites.

DClear historyCorrect

Clearing history removes the list of previously visited websites and other browsing data, directly preventing third parties from accessing this local record of past web pages.

EChange passwords

Changing passwords improves account security but does not directly prevent third parties from tracking your browsing history on an unauthenticated basis.
