17.

Why is TCP the best transport layer protocol to apply to data transfers which involve downloading a complete file?

a)
UDP provides better error-checking mechanisms than TCP.
b)
TCP guarantees reliable data transfer through error-checking, flow control, and retransmission of lost packets.
c)
TCP does not support flow control for large file downloads.
d)
Using TCP for file transfers can lead to faster download speeds.
