What is the difference between the TCP and UDP protocols?
The correct answer is A. TCP ensures ordered, reliable data delivery, and UDP offers low latency and high throughput.. TCP is connection-oriented and provides sequencing, acknowledgments, and retransmissions for reliable, ordered delivery, while UDP is connectionless with minimal overhead, offering lower latency and higher throughput without reliability guarantees.
