What does UDP stand for?

User Datagram Protocol
Unified Data Protocol
Universal Datagram Protocol
User Data Protocol

The correct answer is: User Datagram Protocol

UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol. This option is correct because the protocol is specifically designed for reliable, low-latency data transmissions between applications on a network. The other options are incorrect because they either use incorrect acronyms or do not accurately describe the purpose of the protocol. For example, Unified Data Protocol and Universal Datagram Protocol are not commonly used terms and do not accurately describe the purpose of the protocol. User Data Protocol may seem like a reasonable choice, but it is not correct because it does not include "Datagram", which is a crucial component of the protocol.
