Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: HTTP is an application-layer network protocol for transmitting hypermedia documents.
Reason R: HTTP was designed for communication between web browsers and web servers.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Correct option is A

Assertion A is true: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application-layer protocol used for transmitting hypermedia documents such as HTML, images, and other multimedia files over the internet.
Reason R is true and explains Assertion A: HTTP was specifically designed to enable communication between web browsers (clients) and web servers.
Information Booster:
1. HTTP is stateless, meaning each request-response pair is independent of previous interactions unless sessions are used.
2. It uses methods like GET, POST, and DELETE to perform actions on web resources.
Additional Knowledge:
· HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of HTTP that uses encryption to protect data during transmission.
· HTTP operates over TCP/IP, which ensures reliable data transmission across the network.
