Answer 2

Explanation:

A “wildcard” is a character (or a short string of characters) that represents multiple characters in a search.

In software, a wildcard character is a kind of placeholder represented by a single character, such as an asterisk (*), which can be interpreted as a number of literal characters or an empty string. It is often used in file searches so the full name need not be typed.[1]
