• B. Empathy
• C. User
• D. Usability

Answer: (D)

Usability describes how easy, efficient, and satisfying it is to use a product. It’s about making the product effortless to learn and quick to use, with interactions that feel natural and pleasant. When something has high usability, people can complete tasks without confusion, make few errors, and leave with a positive impression of the experience. Designers focus on clear labels, intuitive layouts, consistent behavior, and responsive feedback to improve usability. Metrics like how long tasks take, how many mistakes are made, and how satisfied users are help teams measure it. The other terms don’t describe this overall user experience: a critique is a detailed evaluation, empathy is about understanding users’ feelings, and a user is the person who uses the product.
