Why each option

The 'inanchor' Google operator restricts results to pages where the specified text appears in the anchor (hyperlink) text of links pointing to those pages.

AinanchorCorrect

The 'inanchor' operator searches for terms found in the anchor text of hyperlinks on a page, which represents text present in the link itself - exactly matching the requirement to search text present in a website's link.

Binfo

The 'info' operator returns information about a specific URL (title, cache, related pages) and does not search link anchor text.

Clink

The 'link' operator finds pages that link to a specified URL; it does not search for text within link anchor text.

Dsite

The 'site' operator restricts results to a specific domain or website and does not search for text within links.
