D
The https:
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A secure URL should begin with “https” rather than “http.” The “s” in “https” stands for secure, which indicates that the site is using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate.

Detailed explanation-2: -HTTPS is HTTP with TLS encryption. HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses, making it safer and more secure. A website that uses HTTPS has https:// in the beginning of its URL instead of http://, like https://www.cloudflare.com.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (https) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with the Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS is an authentication and security protocol widely implemented in browsers and Web servers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The easiest way to know if a site is SSL encrypted or not is to check its URL. The URL of the site should start with HTTPS. For more details about the site’s security credentials, you can click on the padlock icon near the address bar and get more information on the site’s SSL certificate details.

Detailed explanation-5: -HTTPS uses Transport Layer Security (TLS)/SSL protocol to encrypt communication between the client and the server. This protocol uses asymmetric encryption to encrypt those communications, which creates private and public keys to secure the communication.
