The statement which is incorrect about internet is option D. Internet was available to those with personal computers.

Explanation:

Internet was discovered in the 1960s as a means to communicate. This was mostly used by military. The military ports were far from one another and were immobile so they had to come up with something faster.

Later in the 1980s a special protocol was developed where computers could connect to each other more easily.
