The correct answer is that 'https://' means that the data being sent between your browser and the website is encrypted for security. This is important because encryption helps protect sensitive information from being intercepted by malicious entities. 'http://' does not provide this level of security, as the data is sent in plain text. SSL/TLS, represented by the 'S' at the end of 'HTTPS', is the protocol that creates a secure encrypted connection.
