0Which is a correct statement about the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?
Answer Options
A
TCP is a connectionless protocol.
B
TCP allows for error correction.
C
TCP is faster than UDP.
D
TCP allows for retransmission of lost segments.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
TCP is a connection-based protocol via the three-way handshake. It is not faster than UDP. However, it allows for the retransmission of lost segments because of sequences and acknowledgments. TCP does not allow or account for error correction, only the detection of errors and lost or missing segments.
