Identify the correct order of the following terms A-E to complete the paragraph given below that explains how data is sent securely over the Internet using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol:

'The browser requests the ________ to identify itself by providing its ________. This is sent and a check is performed to see if it is ________. If it is, the ________ sends a ________ back to the web server and data transmission begins."

A. authentic

B. browser

C. certificate

D. signal

E. web server

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is E, C, A, B, D.
Important PointsThe browser requests the B. browser to identify itself by providing its C. certificate. This is sent and a check is performed to see if it is A. authentic. If it is, the E. web server sends a D. signal back to the web server, and data transmission begins.

Explanation:

• The paragraph starts with the action of the browser making a request, so the term B. browser comes first.
• The browser requests the web server to identify itself, which is done by providing a certificate, hence C. certificate follows.
• After the certificate is provided, a check is performed to determine if it is authentic, hence A. authentic comes next.
• If the certificate is deemed authentic, the web server responds by sending a signal, represented by term D. signal.

Finally, the paragraph concludes with the term E. web server, as it is the entity that sends the signal back to the browser and initiates the data transmission.
So, the correct order is: E, C, A, B, D.
