HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol. This protocol is used for communication between a web server and a web client, allowing the transfer of hypertext, which includes HTML documents, images, videos, and other resources. The term "hyper text" refers to the ability to link and navigate between different pieces of text or information, which is a fundamental feature of the World Wide Web. The correct answer is Hyper Text Transport Protocol.

NASA is not an early computer because NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which is a government agency responsible for the United States' civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. It is not a computer but an organization involved in space exploration and research. On the other hand, SAGE, ENIAC, and UNIVAC are all early computers. SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) was an early computer system used by the United States Air Force, while ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) and UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) were early electronic general-purpose computers.

Blogging is not one of the early "protocols" or ways to use the Internet. FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telenet, and Gopher were all early protocols that allowed users to transfer files, access remote computers, and retrieve documents respectively. However, blogging, which refers to the creation and publication of online journals or informational websites, emerged later as a way for individuals to share their thoughts and ideas on the Internet.

An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is a company that offers internet connectivity to individuals or organizations in exchange for a fee. They provide the necessary infrastructure, such as cables and servers, to enable users to access the internet. ISPs also offer various plans and packages to cater to different needs and requirements of their customers. Their primary function is to ensure reliable and uninterrupted internet access, as well as provide technical support and assistance to their subscribers.

An intranet is an internal network that is specifically designed to meet the informational needs of a single organization. It is used to transfer information internally within the organization, rather than to the outside company or between different organizations.

The answer is 2000 because there are thousands of computer languages that are currently in use. While not all of them are widely used or popular, there is a vast variety of programming languages that have been developed over the years to cater to different needs and purposes. Therefore, it is reasonable to estimate that there are around 2000 computer languages in use.

The correct answer arranges the storage devices in order of increasing access latency. Registers have the lowest access latency as they are located within the CPU and can be accessed almost instantly. Cache memory has a slightly higher access latency as it is located closer to the CPU than main memory. Main memory has a higher access latency compared to cache memory as it is located outside the CPU. Magnetic disk has an even higher access latency as it is a secondary storage device. Magnetic tape has the highest access latency among the given options as it is a tertiary storage device and generally has slower access times compared to other storage devices.
