- A.
  
  Post Office Protocol (POP)
- B.
  
  Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
- C.
  
  Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
- D.
  
  Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)
Correct Answer
A. Post Office Protocol (POP)

Explanation
You receive mail from an incoming mail server using Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message Access Protocol (|MAP). POP stores incoming e-mail until users authenticate and download it POP is the more accepted and widely used protocol for receiving and managing e-mail. POP servers store and forward e-mail messages to the host. For example if you were to send an e-mail message the message would be stored in the appropriate mail server until the recipient downloaded it from the server. The POP server responds to a request asks for a password then forwards the messages immediately. IMAP handles messages in a more sophisticated manner than POP because it allows you to browse and manage e-mail messages while they reside on the server. A POP server forces you to download e-mail messages before reading deleting or otherwise managing them You send e-mail to others with an outgoing server using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) which is responsible solely for sending - not receiving - e-mail messages. A news server uses the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) to host newsgroups.

  Mathematical shapes saved as a sequence of vector statements which describe a series of points to be connected
Correct Answer
D. Mathematical shapes saved as a sequence of vector statements which describe a series of points to be connected

Explanation
Adobe Flash authoring software allows you to create animation using vector graphics which are essentially mathematical shapes. A vector graphic is saved as a sequence of vector statements which describe a series of points to be connected. Other graphics types such as GlFs and JPEGs are raster graphics which are images that map bits directly to a display space (i e a grid of x and y coordinates on a display space). Raster graphics are pixel-based and as such are much larger files than vector graphics
