In a URL such as https://www.example.com/page.html, which part is the protocol?
Answer: C
Correct answer: https
A URL breaks into recognisable parts, and https before the colon is the scheme or protocol - it says how the resource is to be fetched. The rest divides as follows. www is a subdomain, a conventional but entirely optional label. example.com is the domain name, of which .com is the top-level domain. /page.html is the path to the resource on that server. A URL may also carry a port after a colon, a query string after a question mark, and a fragment after a hash - the fragment being handled by the browser alone and never sent to the server. Other schemes exist besides http and https: ftp for file transfer, mailto for an email address, and file for a local file. URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
