Correct Answer: (i) HTTPS

Explanation:

  • HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP that encrypts communications using TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
  • It ensures data confidentiality, data integrity, and authentication for sensitive operations like online banking, credit card transactions, and e-commerce checkouts.

Security Guarantees:

  1. Encryption: Protects transmitted data against eavesdropping (packet sniffing).
  2. Data Integrity: Prevents tampering or alteration of packets during transit.
  3. Authentication: Proves to users that they are connected to the genuine website via digital certificates.
