Answer

The protocol used for secure communication over a computer network is HTTPS.

Explanation:

  • HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is an unencrypted protocol used for transmitting web data.
  • FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files but lacks encryption by default.
  • Telnet is an unencrypted remote login protocol.
  • HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, using TLS/SSL encryption to protect data integrity and confidentiality.

HTTPS ensures that data exchanged between a client and server remains private and tamper-proof, making it the correct choice for secure communication.
