HTTPS (HTTP Secure) is the correct answer. It is a secure version of the HTTP protocol that encrypts data being transmitted between a web server and a user's browser to protect confidential information such as passwords, credit card details, and other sensitive data. It is widely used for secure e-commerce transactions and online banking. The other options, SHHTTP, HTTPSc, and HTTPSt, do not exist and are not used in practice.
