UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

HTTP defines the rules for communication between web browsers and web servers for requesting and delivering hypertext documents. The acronym officially expands to Hypertext Transfer Protocol, indicating its role in transferring hypertext resources. It is fundamental to web based ICT applications. Hence, the correct expansion is Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

Option A:
Option A is correct because standard networking references and exam syllabi identify HTTP as Hypertext Transfer Protocol. This phrase clearly mentions both hypertext and transfer, which are central to web interactions.

Option B:
Option B, Hyperlink Transmission Process, uses similar words but is not the recognised name and does not match official documentation.

Option C:
Option C, High Traffic Transport Protocol, suggests handling heavy traffic but has no standing as an internet standard acronym.

Option D:
Option D, Host Terminal Transfer Protocol, also sounds technical but is not the accepted expansion of HTTP in web technology.
