Which of the following network applications is better suited for using a connection-oriented protocol than a stateless protocol?

Video streaming typically uses UDP-based protocols such as RTP because the low latency of connectionless delivery is more important than guaranteeing every packet arrives.

Voice transmissions use UDP via RTP/RTCP because the slight data loss of a connectionless protocol is preferable to the retransmission delays introduced by TCP.

SMB (Server Message Block) uses TCP as its transport because file transfers, authentication handshakes, and named pipe communications require reliable in-order delivery and error recovery. Any lost or reordered packets in an SMB session would corrupt transferred files or break protocol state, making a connection-oriented protocol mandatory.

DNS queries use UDP by default because they are small, single-packet request-response exchanges where speed matters more than guaranteed delivery.
