• B. A utility that can be used for remote login
• C. A protocol used for file transfer
• D. A protocol used for communicating voice through mobile phones

Hint:

Telnet provides a simple, text-based interface for accessing remote computers and devices over a network, but it is not secure and is generally replaced by SSH for secure remote login.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Another name for Internet: Telnet is not another name for the Internet. It is a protocol that operates over the Internet or a local network.
- A utility that can be used for remote login: This is the correct answer. Telnet is a network protocol used to provide a command-line interface for communication with remote devices or computers.
- A protocol used for file transfer: This is incorrect. File transfer is typically done using protocols like FTP (File Transfer Protocol), not Telnet.
- A protocol used for communicating voice through mobile phones: This is incorrect. Telnet is not used for voice communication; protocols like VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) are used for voice communication.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2. A utility that can be used for remote login.
