Explanation

A TRAP is the SNMP message type that an agent sends unsolicited to the manager to alert it about a significant event or condition, such as an interface going down, a threshold being exceeded, or a device rebooting. Unlike GET and SET messages (which are initiated by the manager), a trap is initiated by the agent. 'Response' (A) is sent by an agent in reply to a manager's GET or SET request. 'Get' (B) is used by the manager to read a MIB variable. 'Capture' (D) is not a valid SNMP message type.
