Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is the correct protocol for secure remote terminal access. It encrypts all traffic, including credentials, between the client and the remote device. Telnet (C) provides similar terminal access but transmits everything in plaintext, making it insecure. ARP (A) resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses and has nothing to do with terminal sessions. WEB (D) is not a terminal protocol. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 (E, F) are network management protocols used to monitor and manage devices, not to establish interactive terminal sessions - and SNMPv1/v2c use community strings sent in cleartext, adding to their insecurity.
