Why each option
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol responsible for the reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data packets across an IP network.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable data delivery through mechanisms like sequence numbers, acknowledgments, retransmissions, and flow control, ensuring that all data arrives correctly and in order.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) maps IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network, it does not handle data delivery reliability.
IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is a legacy Novell network layer protocol that offers unreliable, connectionless datagram delivery, similar to UDP.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that offers fast but unreliable data transmission, without guarantees of delivery, order, or error checking.
