Correct answer is (c) For encrypted data sent over HTTP protocol

Best explanation: In the case of HTTP connection, data are sent as plain-text, which is easily readable by hackers, especially when it is credit card details and personal information. But with the incorporation of SSL certificate, communication becomes secure and data sent and received are encrypted.
