Which two choices best describe call signaling and media flows? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. a process used to connect two parties calling B. audio or video or both transferred between two parties during conversation. Call signaling is the process of establishing a connection between two parties, while media flow is the actual audio or video exchanged once that connection is established.

Why each option
Call signaling is the process of establishing a connection between two parties, while media flow is the actual audio or video exchanged once that connection is established.
Call signaling uses protocols such as SIP or H.323 to establish, manage, and tear down a call session between two endpoints, negotiating parameters before any media is exchanged.
Media flow is the real-time transmission of audio, video, or both between the communicating parties, typically carried over RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) after signaling has completed session setup.
This describes a general network protocol characteristic and does not specifically define either call signaling or media flow.
Media flow in VoIP refers to audio and video streams, not instant messaging; instant messaging uses separate protocols such as XMPP and is not part of a call media stream.
This partially describes only the control-signal aspect of call signaling and ignores the media flow component entirely.
Data telephony over the Internet describes VoIP as a broad technology category, not the specific concepts of call signaling or media flow.
