What is the correct order of a three-way handshake in TCP/IP?
A
SYN-SYN/ACK-ACK
B
SYN-ACK-FIN
C
SYN-ACK-SYN
D
SYN-ACK-SYN/ACK
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -TCP uses a three-way handshake to establish a reliable connection. The connection is full duplex, and both sides synchronize (SYN) and acknowledge (ACK) each other. The exchange of these four flags is performed in three steps: SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK, as shown in Figure 5.8.

Detailed explanation-2: -Three-Way HandShake or a TCP 3-way handshake is a process which is used in a TCP/IP network to make a connection between the server and client. It is a three-step process that requires both the client and server to exchange synchronization and acknowledgment packets before the real data communication process starts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Known as the “SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK handshake, ‘’ computer A transmits a SYNchronize packet to computer B, which sends back a SYNchronize-ACKnowledge packet to A. Computer A then transmits an ACKnowledge packet to B, and the connection is established.
