Explanation
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the correct choice because it encrypts data in transit using TLS/SSL, making it the standard protocol for secure web application communication - exactly what "web-based" and "secure data transfer" point to. RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a general inter-process communication mechanism, not a web transfer protocol, and lacks built-in encryption. FTPS is a secure variant of FTP designed for file transfers, not web application traffic. Telnet transmits data in plain text with no encryption whatsoever, making it actively dangerous for any sensitive communication.
Memory tip: Break down the question's keywords - "web-based" → HTTP family, "secure" → the S suffix. HTTPS is literally HTTP + Secure, so when both conditions appear together, HTTPS is almost always the answer.
