Why each option

When configuring a website in the cloud, the administrator should use SSL/TLS to secure web traffic and encrypt communication between clients and the server.

AHTTP

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an unencrypted protocol for web communication and does not provide security for a website.

BIPSEC

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols used to secure IP communications, typically for VPNs, not directly for securing application-layer website traffic.

CSSLCorrect

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), largely superseded by TLS (Transport Layer Security), encrypts communication between a web server and a web browser, ensuring data privacy and integrity for websites and protecting sensitive user data exchanged over the internet.

DSSH

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used for secure remote login and command-line execution, primarily for managing servers, not for securing public website traffic.
