When sharing data over a network, which protocol must be used?

Wireless
HTTP
HTTPS
TCP/IP

The correct answer is: TCP/IP

When sharing data over a network, the most commonly used protocol is TCP/IP. This is because TCP/IP is responsible for establishing a connection between two devices over a network and ensuring reliable data transmission. Wireless, HTTP and HTTPS are not protocols, but are types of networks or protocols that use TCP/IP for data transmission. Wireless refers to a type of network that uses radio frequencies to connect devices, while HTTP and HTTPS are protocols used for data transfer over the internet. However, none of these options specify the protocol that must be used for data sharing over a network, which is why D TCP/IP is the correct answer.
