A
http
B
https
C
https
D
httpd
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, which is the primary protocol used to send data between a web browser and a website. HTTPS is encrypted in order to increase security of data transfer.

Detailed explanation-2: -The HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) port is a secure version of HTTP. It provides a communication channel that secures the data transferred between a server and a web browser using an SSL/TLS certificate that encrypts the web traffic and protects sensitive customer information in transit.

Detailed explanation-3: -HTTPS uses the SSL/TLS protocol to encrypt communications so that attackers can’t steal data. SSL/TLS also confirms that a website server is who it says it is, preventing impersonations. This stops multiple kinds of cyber attacks (just like food safety prevents illness).

Detailed explanation-4: -Speed and Performance Another benefit of using HTTPS compared to HTTP is that websites will load relatively faster with it, especially if used with a server that supports HTTP/2. HTTP/2 supports HTTPS encryption and complements its security protocols.
