Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main difference between HTTP and HTTPS is that:
A
HTTP encrypts communication between the API and its clients
B
HTTPS allows API versioning
C
HTTPS encrypts communication between the API and its clients
D
HTTP is an evolution of the HTTPS protocol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -HTTPS is HTTP with encryption and verification. The only difference between the two protocols is that HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses, and to digitally sign those requests and responses. As a result, HTTPS is far more secure than HTTP.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Definition of HTTPS? HTTPS is a security-enhanced version of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the application protocol through which all data communication on the web happens. HTTP helps web users retrieve web pages. HTTPS, or HTTP Secure, does the same but in a more secure manner.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. This lets you know that all your communication and data is encrypted as it passes from your browser to the website’s server.
