Question

which of the following indicates a secure website connection?
a. the message \secure website\ in the address bar
b. https in the url
c. http in the url
d. a shield icon in the address bar

Explanation:

HTTPS (Hyper - Text Transfer Protocol Secure) is an extension of the HTTP protocol. It uses encryption to secure the data transferred between the browser and the website, indicating a secure connection. A "secure website" message in the address bar is not a standard indicator. HTTP is not secure as it transfers data in plain - text. A shield icon can be part of some security features but HTTPS in the URL is the most definitive indicator.

Answer:

B. https in the URL
