Digital Divide :

In general the term digital divide refers to the fact that certain parts of the population have substantially better opportunities to benefit from the new economy than other parts of the population. This generally has the three types of stages involved.

They are :

a) Economic Divide
b) Usability Divide
c) Empowerment Divide

Empowerment Divide :

So now with the related question we move on to the option of Empowerment Divide as the most stage thst is difficult to analyse and solve. The reason can be described as follows :

With the knowledge of the first two stages that are needed to empower the stage of the empowerment divide the empowerment divide, however, is the hard and the difficult one. The topic or the scenario of the Participation inequality is one exponent of the empowerment divide that has held as a constant throughout all the years of the Internet growth.

In a research it is found that many users don\'t know how to use the search to truly master the Web. People don\'t understand advanced search features, they rarely employ query formulation, and it is depicted that many citizens select the top or the first search results. And some users don\'t even know that the label \"sponsored links\" refers to paid advertisements.

It is also found that some users remain at the mercy of other people\'s decisions. Similarly, some users don\'t realize that better applications are available at a cost that\'s far less than the value of the time they waste trying not to look at the ads.

So considering the above cases it is found that the stage Empowerment Divide is the most difficult and hard stage to solve and process the data.

So the answer is OPTION C (Empowerment Divide).

Hope this is helpful.
