Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option are:-

a) The socket type that will be used

d) The socket family that will be used  

Explanation:

The socket() method generates the unbound socket in a networking domain and returns a descriptor of the register, which can be used in subsequent socket function calls.

The socket() method takes three arguments:  

Domain:- The domain for which a socket is to be built is defined.

Type:- The socket type to be generated is defined.

Protocol:- It specifies a common socket protocol to use. The protocol setting of 0 causes socket() to use a default uninstalled protocol that is suitable for the socket type requested.
