Correct answer: C
The correct protocol for transferring email messages from one machine to another is SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). It is specifically designed for sending email across networks and between mail servers.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for managing and monitoring network devices, not for email transfer.
TELNET is used for remote terminal access to a computer, allowing users to log in and execute commands remotely.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between computers over a network, not for sending email.
