Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -IP is considered to be connectionless because it does not establish a session with a remote computer before sending data. Data sent via connectionless methods are called datagrams. An IP packet can be lost, delayed, duplicated, or delivered out of sequence and there is no attempt to recover from these errors.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is User Datagram Protocol (UDP). UDP is a connectionless and unreliable transport protocol.
Detailed explanation-3: -UDP is often described as connectionless or “best-effort delivery” because it does not establish a connection before sending, it does not sequence packets before sending, and it does not provide error control through retransmission.
