4. TCP/IP

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : HTTP

The correct answer is HTTP.

• The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
  • It is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Hence, Option 3 is correct.
  • It is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, where hypertext documents include hyperlinks to other resources that the user can easily access.
  • It is a generic and stateless protocol that can be used for other purposes as well as using extensions of its request methods, error codes, and headers.

FTP	It s a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and a server on a computer network
