globally.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. fleets.

  • Twitter launched tweets that disappear in 24 hours called “Fleets” globally, echoing social media sites like Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram that already have disappearing posts.
  • Fleets can’t be retweeted and they won’t have “likes.” 
  • Fleets are a “lower pressure” way to communicate “fleeting thoughts” as opposed to permanent tweets, Twitter executives Joshua Harris, design director, and Sam Haveson, product manager, said in a blog post.
