Answer options

• A. reliable.
• B. matrixed.
• C. connectionless.
• D. slower.

Correct answer: C

The SOCK_DGRAM type in Python socket programming is used for connectionless communication, meaning it does not establish a dedicated end-to-end connection before sending data. This differs from reliable connections like TCP (SOCK_STREAM), while the other options do not accurately describe the characteristics of SOCK_DGRAM.
