Which of the following statements about the URL http://www.mygov.in/index.html are correct?

1.Http is the name of the protocol and stands for HyperText Transaction Protocol

2.'.in' is a top-level domain name and represents a website hosted in India

3.'.mygov.' is a second-level domain name in the name of the website

A1 & 2 only

B1 & 3 only

C2 & 3 only ✓ Correct

D1, 2 & 3

Correct answer: (C) 2 & 3 only

Explanation

Statements 2 and 3 are correct because .in is a top level domain for India and .mygov. is the second level domain in this address.

Statement 1 is wrong because http stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol, not HyperText Transaction Protocol.

Statement 2 is right because a top level domain such as .in sits at the end of the domain name and signals a country or category.

Statement 3 is right because the label just left of the top level domain, here mygov, is the second level domain.

The http part names the protocol used to fetch the page, while index.html names the specific file requested.

Reading a web address from right to left moves from the broadest domain down to the exact resource.
