Q: TCP Transport Ports
Most CCNA candidates focus on the topics that require deeper learning, topics that you need to configure, verify, and troubleshoot on routers and switches. At the same time, Cisco includes a small set of topics for which you need only conceptual knowledge. The TCP/IP Transport layer happens to be one of those topics and is the focus of today’s question.
The Question

Answer Post in a Few Days!
I’ll post an answer post in a few days. Watch for it! It should be the next post in chronological order as well, so watch for the link at the bottom of this page (just above the comments section).
The 3rd part of the TCP handshake. (c)
B) SYN flag and ACK flags set
C & E
I think C and E as well.
Yes, the answer are C and E.
I see there is a Syn but no Ack so my answer will be A &E
So the required answer wants the 3rd part of the 3 way handshake. So from what I remember its SYN, SYN ACK, and then ACK.
From the listed answers the correct one should be C
where can I see a definite answer here?
sorry you get it in the next page!
No problem. Glad you found it!
Its got to be either B or E…
the answer is, C
