Why each option

To make a website trusted, the administrator needs to install an SSL/TLS certificate, which enables secure, encrypted communication and browser trust.

AIPSec

IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is used to secure IP communications, typically at the network layer, and is not directly used to make a website trusted by browsers.

BSSLCorrect

Installing an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate (or more accurately, a TLS certificate) on a web server enables HTTPS, which encrypts communication between the server and clients. Browsers use these certificates to verify the website's identity and ensure data integrity, thereby establishing trust and displaying a secure connection indicator.

CLDAP

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is used for accessing directory services and is unrelated to securing web server communication or establishing browser trust.

DDNS

DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names to IP addresses and is essential for website accessibility but does not inherently make a website trusted in terms of security.
