C Correct answer
Explanation

Port 80 is the default port for HTTP web traffic on servers like IIS and Apache. When you type a URL without specifying a port, the browser defaults to port 80 for unencrypted HTTP. Port 443 is used for HTTPS, and 8080 is a common alternate web server port.

AI explanation

By default, web servers such as IIS and Apache listen for HTTP traffic on TCP port 80. This is the standard, universally recognized port for unencrypted web traffic (port 443 is the equivalent default for HTTPS). None of the other numbers listed are conventional web server ports.
