Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.

4-1Network SecurityEasy

What kind of delivery service does TCP give applications?

Best-effort datagram deliveryBest-effort datagrams describe UDP, the right answer for a low-overhead transport question.
Broadcast delivery to all hostsTCP supports unicast delivery, not broadcast.
Anonymous store-and-forward relayStore-and-forward relay describes email architecture, not a transport layer.
Reliable, in-order byte streamsCorrect · your answerCorrect. Reliability and ordering over a byte stream is TCP's contract.

Correct.

Concept

Transport protocols divide by the promises they make: some guarantee arrival and order at the cost of overhead, others just send and forget.

Why D

RFC 9293 states TCP provides a reliable, in-order, byte-stream service to applications, carried in segments sent as IP datagrams.
