What port is commonly used to connect to a web server?

HTTP
FTP
TCP
UDP

The correct answer is: HTTP

HTTP (option A) stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is the most commonly used port for connecting to web servers. FTP (option B) stands for File Transfer Protocol and is primarily used for uploading and downloading files. TCP (option C) stands for Transmission Control Protocol and is used for establishing a reliable connection between two devices. UDP (option D) stands for User Datagram Protocol and is used for fast, low-latency communication but is not reliable for transferring large amounts of data. Therefore, HTTP (option A) is the most appropriate and commonly used port for connecting to a web server.
