a computer has many ip addresses and one port.

Explanation:

In a network, a computer typically has one public - facing IP address (though it can have multiple in some complex set - ups like multi - homed systems, but usually one main one for general network communication). However, it can have many ports. Ports are used to distinguish different network services and applications running on the computer. For example, HTTP uses port 80, FTP uses port 21 etc. So a computer has one IP address and many ports.

Answer:

B. A computer has one IP address and many ports.
