Why each option
Apache HTTPD and NGINX are both widely used HTTP web server software, while the other options serve unrelated network roles.
Apache HTTPD is one of the most widely deployed open-source web servers, serving HTTP/HTTPS content to clients. NGINX is also a high-performance web server and reverse proxy that serves HTTP/HTTPS content, making both valid answers for this question.
Postfix is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) used to route and deliver email, not to serve web content over HTTP.
Curl is a command-line tool and library for transferring data with URLs; it is a client-side utility, not a server.
Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 email server that delivers mail to end-user clients, not an HTTP web server.
