Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shareware is software that is distributed free on a trial basis with the understanding that if users continue to use the software after the trial period, they should pay for it. Freeware is software that is completely free to use and distribute. Limited use software could refer to software that has limitations on use but doesn't specifically imply a trial period or eventual payment, making "A" the most accurate choice.
