What does TCP stand for?

Transmission Control Protocol
Transfer Command Protocol
Transactional Control Protocol
Transmission Command Protocol

The correct answer is: Transmission Control Protocol

TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. This protocol is used on the internet to send and receive data reliably between devices. Option B, Transfer Command Protocol, does not accurately describe what TCP does. Option C, Transactional Control Protocol, is not a commonly used term and does not relate to TCP. Option D, Transmission Command Protocol, is a combination of two different protocols, making it an incorrect answer. Therefore, A is the correct answer.
