Consider the three-way handshake mechanism followed during TCP connection establishment between hosts P and Q. Let X and Y be two random 32-bit starting sequence numbers chosen by P and Q respectively. Suppose P sends a TCP connection request message to Q with a TCP segment having SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = X, and ACK bit = 0. Suppose Q accepts the connection request. Which one of the following choices represents the information present in the TCP segment header that is sent by Q to P?
A
SYN bit = 0, SEQ number = X + 1, ACK bit = 0, ACK number = Y, FIN bit = 1
B
SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = X + 1, ACK bit = 0, ACK number = Y, FIN bit = 0
C
SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = Y, ACK bit = 1, ACK number = X, FIN bit = 0
D
SYN bit = 1, SEQ number = Y, ACK bit = 1, ACK number = X + 1, FIN bit = 0
