Why each option
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers and network devices to a reference time server.
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is used for delivering audio and video over IP networks, not for time synchronization.
NTP operates on UDP port 123 and uses a hierarchy of time servers (stratum levels) to distribute accurate time, allowing client workstations to synchronize their local clocks with a central time server.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol used for transferring files such as firmware, not for clock synchronization.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network segment and has no role in time synchronization.
