Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "brand" refers to the name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that identifies one seller's product as distinct from those of other sellers. In this case, Sellotape, iPod, and Hoover are all brands that have become synonymous with their respective products. "Class" also refers to a category or group of similar items, but it is not the best fit in this context as it does not necessarily convey the idea of brand association. "Home" and "code" are not relevant to the concept described in the question.
