What does HTTPS stand for?

  1. HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure

  2. HyperText Transfer Protocol Securely

  3. HyperText Transfer Securely Protocol

  4. HyperText Transfer Secure Protocol

The correct answer is: HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure

HTTP is the protocol used for transferring data between a web server and a browser. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, which encrypts data being transmitted to protect it from hackers. This makes options B, C, and D incorrect as they do not include "Protocol" as the last word. Additionally, option B incorrectly uses "securely" as an adjective rather than "secure" as a modifier for "protocol."
