Question

A set of rules is

• A. Resource locator
• B. Hypertext
• C. Protocol
• D. Domain

Hint:

Think of a protocol as a "diplomatic protocol" for computers. It's the agreed-upon etiquette and language they must use to understand each other.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Define the term "protocol" in the context of computing. A protocol is a standard set of rules that allow electronic devices to communicate with each other. These rules include what data is communicated, how it's communicated, and how errors are handled.
Step 2: Analyze the other options.

(A) Resource Locator (like URL): An address for a resource on the internet, not a set of rules.
(B) Hypertext (like HTML): A system for displaying text that links to other text.
(D) Domain: A name that identifies a network or website on the internet.
The term that means "a set of rules" is a protocol. Examples include HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
