What does HTTP stand for?

• A. Hyperlink Transport Protocol.
• B. Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Secure.
• C. Hypertext Transfer Procedure.
• D. Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

Answer: (D)

HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It is the set of rules that governs how a browser and a server communicate to fetch and display web pages. “Hypertext” refers to linked documents, “Transfer” describes moving data between your computer and the server, and “Protocol” means a defined method of communication. The other options mix up terms (Hyperlink instead of Hypertext, Transport vs Transfer, and including “Secure” which would point to HTTPS) or use the word “Procedure,” which isn’t the correct term for this standard. So the exact and standard name is Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
