Correct answer: B
Answer: SMTP, POP3.
Why this is correct:
SMTP sends outgoing mail from a client to a mail server or between mail servers.
POP3 retrieves incoming mail from the mail server to the client.
The question asks for a protocol pair used to send and then retrieve e-mails in that order, so SMTP followed by POP3 is the correct sequence.
