Why each option

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) uses TCP port 3389 by default for remote graphical desktop connections.

A110

Port 110 is assigned to POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3), used for retrieving email from a mail server, not remote desktop access.

B443

Port 443 is assigned to HTTPS (HTTP over TLS/SSL), used for secure web traffic, not remote desktop sessions.

C3389Correct

RDP operates on TCP port 3389 by default, allowing a client to establish a remote graphical session to a Windows host. This port must be open on the firewall and the Remote Desktop service must be enabled on the target machine for connections to succeed.

D8080

Port 8080 is a common alternate port for HTTP web traffic or proxy services, not the RDP protocol.
