Solution
The answer is B: video calls.
Explanation for each option:
A. Phone calls - While Skype and FaceTime can be used for audio-only calls, they are primarily known for their video calling capabilities, which makes this option less accurate.
B. Video calls - This is the correct answer. Both Skype and FaceTime are widely used for video communication, allowing users to see each other in real-time.
C. Instant messages - Although Skype offers instant messaging features, FaceTime does not. Therefore, this option does not accurately describe the primary use of both programs.
D. Email messages - Neither Skype nor FaceTime is used for sending email messages, so this option is incorrect.
In summary, Skype and FaceTime are primarily used for video calls, making option B the correct choice.
