Internet is a global, public network used to connect businesses and consumers, while an intranet is a private internal network used within an organization. These definitions are the key concepts needed to choose the correct pair.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Internet: worldwide public network for external communication (websites, email, mobile apps).
- Intranet: private organizational network for internal communication and data sharing.
- Extranet: a controlled extension of an intranet to selected external partners (suppliers, partners), not typically the general consumer public.
- The Web (WWW) is an application running on the internet; “social network” refers to platforms for social interaction, not an internal enterprise network.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Data exchanged between companies and consumers (digital coupons, customer complaints) is sent across publicly accessible channels (websites, apps, email). Those channels run on the internet.
- Off-line electronic data collection (bar-code scanners, point-of-sale databases, inventory records) is gathered and shared internally for operational use. Those systems are hosted on an organization’s private network (intranet) to restrict access and integrate internal databases and applications.

3) Intermediate logical steps
- External consumer-facing communication → uses public infrastructure → internet.
- Internal operational data → requires controlled internal access → intranet.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- “Internet; intranet” exactly matches the described use cases: consumer-facing exchanges use the internet; internal offline electronic data sharing uses an intranet.

5) Why other options are incorrect
- B (extranet; internet): an extranet serves partners, not general consumers; internal data would not typically “travel via internet.”
- C (extranet; intranet): first blank wrong—consumer exchanges usually use the internet, not an extranet.
- D (the Web; the social network): the Web is only one internet application, and social networks are not the internal private networks used for bar-code scanners/databases.

6) Conclusion
Therefore the correct choice is A: internet; intranet, which matches the provided answer.

Data, such as digital coupons or customer complaints, exchanged between companies and consumers typically travel via _, while off-line electronic data collection, such as bar code scanners or databases, shared internally within an organization, travel via ____.单项选择题
