Answer 1

1. No
   Explanation:
   The given URL begins with http:// rather than https://. Standard HTTP transmits data in plain text without encryption, leaving communication between the browser and the web server vulnerable to interception.
2. http
   Explanation:
   The protocol scheme http indicates an unencrypted, non-secure connection. A secure website utilizes https (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure), which employs SSL/TLS protocols to encrypt data exchanges.
3. http
   Explanation:
   The prefix before the delimiter :// specifies the communication protocol used by the client and server to transfer information. Here, http identifies the protocol governing how data is formatted and transmitted.
4. www.pacein.com
   Explanation:
   The domain name [www.pacein.com](https://www.pacein.com) serves as the unique identifier for the host server hosting the company's website. It maps to the web server's IP address on the network.
5. none
   Explanation:
   The path identifies the specific directory and file resource hosted on the server, which is /pr/main.htm. Because option (c) erroneously prepends ...com to the path, the correct alternative among the given choices is (d) none.
