• A protocol determines how it will be executed on every networked device.

• A protocol is not required for all data transmissions.

Answer 1

Option (C): A protocol determines how it will be executed on every networked device.
Protocols determine how data should be transmitted between computing devices and over networks. A protocol is a common set of rules and conditions each computer should follow to communicate with one another. Protocols or network protocols are formal standards and policies that are made up of rules, procedures, and formats all, defining the communication between two or more devices over a network. Also, these protocols are the set of rules that establish how network devices are supposed to format, transmit, and process information. It also includes the conventions for communication between network devices, which includes ways how devices can identify and make connections with one another. It also has formatting rules specifying how data should be packaged into sent and received messages.
