tests the understanding of fundamental Chartbeat metrics. Option B accurately defines Active Engaged Visitors as those demonstrating meaningful interaction (scrolling, clicking, etc.) beyond mere page load, distinguishing them from Total Visitors who encompass all unique visitors, including those with zero engagement.
