Which type of links are typically located in the upper right-hand corner and do not fit into the main site navigation?

• A. Utility links
• B. Primary Navigation
• C. Footer Links
• D. Sitemap

Answer: (A)

In this context, it’s about distinguishing quick-action links from the main way you browse the site. Utility links are the small set of actions you often need to access from the top-right area of the header—things like sign in or out, language or locale switcher, accessibility options, help, contact, or account settings. They’re not about navigating to a content category or section of the site, which is why they don’t belong in the main navigation.

The main navigation is the core structure that guides you through primary content areas (like Home, Products, About, etc.). Footer links live at the bottom of the page as supplementary references, and a sitemap is a separate page that lists all links. So the ones placed in the upper right and not part of the primary navigation are utility links.
