Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freeware is software that is provided at no cost to the user. Shareware is software that is distributed for free initially, but the user is expected to pay for continued use or additional features. Limited use software may be free initially, but it has restrictions on its functionality or duration of use. Therefore, freeware is the only option that fits the description of software provided at no cost without any limitations or expectations to pay in the future.
