The correct answer is protocol.

Key Points

• The first part of a complete URL is the protocol.
• Protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and others define how data is transmitted between the client and the server.
• The protocol specifies the method used for accessing the web resource and ensures that the data is transferred securely and correctly.
• For example, HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, which is an extension of HTTP and provides secure communication over a computer network.

Additional Information

• A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address used to access web pages and other resources on the internet.
• It typically consists of several parts: the protocol, the domain name, the path, and optionally, the port, query parameters, and fragment identifier.
• The protocol is followed by a colon and two forward slashes (e.g., http:// or https://).
• Correctly specifying the protocol is crucial for ensuring that the client and server can communicate effectively.

The correct answer is Scatter.

Key Points

The correct answer is Used to deliver data on the World Wide Web.

Key Points

• The HTTP protocol is used to deliver data on the World Wide Web 
• It stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
• It is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet Protocol Suite.
• It is the base of data communication on the World Wide Web.
• It provides a standard for web browsers that facilitates users to exchange information over the internet.
• A typical flow over HTTP involves a client machine requesting a server, which then sends a response message.
• An HTTP request is a way internet communications platforms such as web browsers ask for the information they need to load a website.
• Each HTTP request made across the Internet carries with it a series of encoded data that carries different types of information.

Additional Information

• Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)
• It is the protocol where encrypted HTTP data is transferred over a secure connection.
• It ensures data security over the network - mainly public networks like Wi-Fi.
• HTTPS encryption is done bi-directionally, which means that the data is encrypted at both the client and server sides.

The Correct answer is Between LAN and WAN.

 Key Points

• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN):
• ​A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a computer network that links users to computer resources within a geographic area, typically the size of a metropolitan region.
• It involves connecting local area networks (LANs) in a city to create a larger network, enabling efficient connectivity to a wide area network (WAN).
• Additionally, the term MAN is used to depict the linking of multiple LANs in a metropolitan area through point-to-point connections.
• MANs typically span a city or a large campus, connecting multiple LANs within that specific metropolitan area.
• They offer higher data transfer rates compared to WANs and are often used to interconnect various LANs in different buildings or locations within the same city.

Additional Information

• Local Area Network (LAN):
• ​LAN is a network that is limited to a small geographic area, such as a single building or a campus.
• It provides high data transfer rates within a confined area and is typically used for connecting computers, printers, and other devices within an organization.
• Wide Area Network (WAN):
• WAN is a network that spans a large geographic area, such as a country, continent, or even globally.
• WANs use various communication technologies, including leased lines, satellites, and public networks, to connect LANs and MANs across different locations.
• Due to the broader coverage, WANs may experience lower data transfer rates compared to LANs and MANs.

The correct option is (4) Headout Master

Concept:-

The Handout Master option allows us to change the layout, headers, and footers, as well as the background, of presentation handouts.

 Key Points

• Depending on the number of slides per page you want, choose one of the Handout options from the Layout box.
• A slide number is automatically included beneath each slide image in printed handouts of PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac. Choose Print.
• The formatting for those elements, such as the theme colors, fonts, and effects, is also included in the layouts.

• A notes master component may be present in a presentation (zero or one). The backdrop materials and default design of a notes page are chosen by the notes master.

The correct answer is magnetic tape.

Key Points

• In computing, sequential access memory (SAM) is a class of data storage devices that read stored data in a sequence.
• A magnetic tape is a sequential access memory storage device.
• Under SAM, the memory is accessed in a specific linear sequential manner, like accessing in a single Linked List.
• The access time depends on the location of the data.

Additional Information
