This functionality is essential for efficient browsing and helps users quickly revisit pages without needing to manually enter URLs or search for them again.

Navigation buttons do not provide shortcuts to frequently visited websites; they are used for moving through browsing history.
Option B:
Bookmarks are a separate feature in web browsers and are not related to navigation buttons.
Option C:
This is the correct answer as navigation buttons allow users to move forward or backward through their browsing history.
Option D:
Opening multiple tabs is a different feature and is not related to navigation buttons.
