Answer: (D)

Hypertext Transfer Protocol is the standard for transferring web content between browsers and servers. Hypertext means documents linked with hyperlinks; Transfer refers to moving data; Protocol is a defined set of rules for communication. When you load a webpage, your browser sends an HTTP request to the server, and the server replies with the requested resources like HTML, images, or other data. The other possibilities refer to different things: File Transfer Protocol is used for moving files, not serving web pages; a URL is the address format used to locate a resource; the Web/World Wide Web is the system of interlinked documents, not the protocol itself.
