TCP is a(n) ____ transport protocol.
A
Protocol delivery
B
Reliable
C
Best-effort delivery
D
Effortless delivery
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike UDP, TCP provides reliable message delivery. TCP ensures that data is not damaged, lost, duplicated, or delivered out of order to a receiving process. This assurance of transport reliability keeps applications programmers from having to build communications safeguards into their software.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main difference between TCP (transmission control protocol) and UDP (user datagram protocol) is that TCP is a connection-based protocol and UDP is connectionless. While TCP is more reliable, it transfers data more slowly. UDP is less reliable but works more quickly.

Detailed explanation-3: -TCP and UDP are both transport layer protocols used in networking. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, whereas UDP is a connectionless protocol.
