________ is used for transmitting files between computers on the Internet over TCP/IP connections.

The correct answer is: FTP

Concept:

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a protocol that is part of the TCP/IP suite, specifically designed for transmitting files between computers on the Internet. FTP uses the client-server model where the client machine establishes the connection to a server to upload or download files. FTP uses two separate connections for command and data to ensure reliable and efficient file transfer, making it particularly useful for transferring large files or groups of files.

Here's brief information about the other options:

2) ASCII: The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character encoding standard. ASCII is used to represent text in computers and other devices that use text. It does not involve file transfer.

3) BCD: Binary Coded Decimal is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight. It is a way to represent decimal numbers in binary format. It does not involve file transfer.

4) HTTP: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is used for transmitting hypertext over the internet. Hypertext is the structured text that uses hyperlinks between nodes containing text. HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web but it's not specifically designed for file transfers - it's more broadly used to request and transmit web pages and other data from a server to a client (like a web browser). HTTP can be used to transfer files as part of this data exchange, but it is not specifically a file transfer protocol.
