I got this question in my homework.

Enquiry is from Ports topic in chapter Networking of Computer Network

Answer 1

Right option is (a) multiple HTTP requests are sent on a single TCP connection without waiting for the corresponding responses

The best I can explain: HTTP pipelining helps the client make multiple requests without having to waiting for each response, thus saving a lot of time and bandwidth for the client.
