Why each option
The default port for HTTP transmitted over SSL/TLS, commonly known as HTTPS, is 443.
Port 80 is the default TCP port for unencrypted HTTP traffic, not for HTTP transmitted over SSL/TLS.
Port 443 is the standard and default TCP port assigned for HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) communication. HTTPS secures web traffic by encrypting HTTP over TLS/SSL, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity during transmission.
Port 448 is not a standard or commonly recognized default port for any web-related protocol like HTTP or HTTPS.
Port 8080 is a common alternative or proxy port for web servers, but it is not the default port for HTTPS communication.
