Show answer and explanation

Answer: C. The Port Number

• Answer: C
• Explanation: The colon followed by a number specifies the Port Number. It tells the browser which specific process or service on the server to communicate with. For standard http, the default port is 80, and for https, it is 443. When non-standard ports are used (like 8080), they must be explicitly stated in the URL.
