What is the full form of HTTP?

AHypertext Transmission Protocol

BHypertext Transfer Protocol ✓ Correct

CHyperterminal Transport Protocol

DHyperterminal Transfer Protocol

Correct answer: (B) Hypertext Transfer Protocol

Explanation

HTTP expands to Hypertext Transfer Protocol, the rules for exchanging web pages between browser and server.

Hypertext Transmission Protocol wrongly replaces Transfer with Transmission.

Hyperterminal Transport Protocol changes both key words and is incorrect.

Hyperterminal Transfer Protocol misnames the first word as Hyperterminal.

A browser sends an HTTP request and the server returns the requested page.

The secure version HTTPS wraps this exchange in encryption.
