B5, 3, 1, 2, 4 ✓ Correct
C4, 3, 1, 2, 5
D2, 3, 1, 5, 4
Correct answer: (B) 5, 3, 1, 2, 4
Explanation

The correct order is 5, 3, 1, 2, 4, filling the blanks as web server, certificate, authentic, browser and signal.

The browser first requests the web server in Statement 5 to identify itself.

The web server provides its certificate in Statement 3 as proof of identity.

A check is then performed to see if the certificate is authentic in Statement 1.

If it is, the browser in Statement 2 sends a signal in Statement 4 back and data transmission begins.

TLS encrypts the data in transit so it cannot be read if intercepted.
