Why each option

UDP is suitable for applications that prioritize speed and real-time delivery over guaranteed packet delivery, such as streaming multimedia.

AWeb browsing

Web browsing uses TCP to ensure all parts of web pages, including text, images, and scripts, are reliably delivered without loss or corruption.

Bdownloading a program

Downloading a program requires guaranteed delivery of every byte without errors, making TCP the appropriate protocol to ensure file integrity.

Cstreaming television showsCorrect

Streaming television shows benefit from UDP because it allows for continuous, low-latency data flow, where occasional packet loss is acceptable to maintain real-time playback rather than retransmitting lost packets and causing buffering delays. UDP's connectionless nature and minimal overhead make it ideal for time-sensitive media.

Don-line shopping

Online shopping involves sensitive transactions and requires absolute reliability for order details, payment information, and confirmations, which is provided by TCP.
