Why each option

iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is the protocol specifically designed to enable the transport of SCSI commands over standard TCP/IP networks, allowing block-level storage access. This effectively extends the SCSI bus over an IP network, making network-attached storage appear as local storage to a server.

AiSCSICorrect

iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) encapsulates SCSI commands and data within TCP/IP packets, enabling block-level storage to be accessed over an IP network. It defines the rules for transmitting storage data between an initiator (server) and a target (storage array) using standard network infrastructure.

BVoIP

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is used for transmitting voice communications over IP networks, not block storage.

CDistributed Applications over IP

"Distributed Applications over IP" is a general concept, not a specific protocol defining block storage transmission.

DHTTPS

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is used for secure web browsing and application data transfer, not for block-level storage.
