Explanation

The correct port-to-protocol mapping follows well-established networking standards: FTP uses port 21, Telnet uses port 23, SMTP uses port 25, SNMP uses port 161, SSH uses port 22, and TFTP uses port 69. These are IANA-assigned default ports that network professionals must memorize, as they are foundational to understanding network services and configuring firewalls, ACLs, and security policies. Confusing these ports is a common mistake, especially between similar protocols like FTP (21) and SSH (22), or Telnet (23) and SMTP (25).
