Answer and explanation
Correct Answer: A — Store browsing information of the user
Cookies are small files saved on a user's computer, designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, accessible by the web server or client. They allow the server to deliver pages tailored to a specific user and carry session information across visits; the other options describe malicious actions unrelated to legitimate cookie use.
