Which best describes the similarities and differences between the interactive media pathway and network systems pathway? a)_both are designed to create webpages, while interactive media would focus mainly on communication methods in the webpage. b)_both are designed to employees with computer problems, while interactive media would focus mainly on webinars and online communication. c)_both are designed to create new software, while network systems would focus mainly on designing databases. d)_both are designed to protect computers from viruses, while interactive media would focus more on research and maintenance.

The best answer is (D) Both are designed to help protect computers from viruses, while Interactive Media would focus more on research and maintenance.

Interactive media pathways deal with the creation of multimedia products such as websites for schools, business, and organizations. On the other hand, network career paths deal with design, installation and network maintenance.
If we decided to choose option A, then it would be wrong to say network career paths deal with creation of website.
If we chose B, it would be wrong to say both are designed to help employees with computer problems because this one belongs to another career path called Information Support and Services.
If we chose C, it would be wrong to say both are designed to create new software. This belongs to Programming and Software Development.
Therefore, the best answer would be D
