Which term describes notifying users that content changes after interacting with a link?

• A. A visible status message updated when content changes.
• B. Hover-based notification.
• C. Link Change Notification.
• D. Keyboard shortcut to refresh the page.

Answer: (C)

Notifying users about content changes after following a link is described by the term Link Change Notification. This phrase directly names the event: a link is activated and the content updates, and there’s a notification to the user about that change. It’s especially important for accessibility, since dynamic updates should be announced so that users who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies know what happened.

A visible status message that updates when content changes is a real way to convey the change, but it’s a method of delivering the information rather than naming the event itself. A notification that occurs on hover isn’t tied to activating a link, and a keyboard shortcut to refresh the page describes a manual control, not the automatic update notification after a link interaction.
