In a computer network, moving software resources in the form of data files between two specific systems for sharing requires an address for communication and a secure means for moving data as electronic signals. This needs
AAn address for communication
BA secure means for moving data in the form of electronic signals
CBoth an address and a secure means ✓ Correct
DEither an address or a secure means
Correct answer: (C) Both an address and a secure means
Explanation
Moving data files between two systems needs both a communication address and a secure means to carry the signals.
An address alone locates the systems but does not protect the data in transit.
A secure means alone protects data but cannot direct it to the right destination without an address.
Requiring only one of the two fails, since the task explicitly demands addressing and security together.
The address identifies sender and receiver while the secure channel guards the electronic signals.
This pairing underlies protocols that combine IP addressing with encryption.
