Explanation:
The Trusted sites zone is intended for sites that you consider absolutely safe. For the most part, Internet Explorer will accept just about any type of content from such sites, without considering potential harm. The only exception is that users will be prompted before downloading unsigned ActiveX controls or ActiveX controls that have not been marked as safe. The Require server verification for all sites in this zone check box specifies whether Internet Explorer verifies that the server for a Web site is secure before connecting to any Web site in this zone. By clearing this option http traffic would be allows and https would not be required.Incorrect Answers:
B: www. Domain.com has not been added to the Restricted Sites list. Unsigned drivers are disabled by default in the Internet zone.
