What type of software does a web server use to communicate with web clients?

  1. Socket

  2. Hypertext Markup Language

  3. Graph

  4. Antivirus

The correct answer is: Socket

Web servers use sockets to communicate with web clients. Sockets provide the connection between the server and client, allowing for data to be transmitted between the two. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to create the structure and content of a webpage, but it is not a type of software used for communication. Graphs are visual representations of data and not a form of software. Antivirus software is used to protect against malware and is not directly involved in communication between a web server and client. Therefore, the correct answer is A Socket.
