Explanation

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) on port 25 is the standard protocol for sending outgoing email. POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) on port 110 is the standard protocol for retrieving incoming email from a mail server. These two together cover both sending and receiving, which are the core requirements for setting up email on any device. SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a time-synchronization protocol and is completely unrelated to email. The other options either use the wrong protocol name (SNTP) or have the port numbers swapped between SMTP and POP3, making them incorrect.
