Which protocol is used to synchronize a system's clock with time servers?
- ANTP, the Network Time Protocol for clock synchronization
- BSMTP, the Network Time Protocol for clock synchronization
- CSNMP, the Network Time Protocol for clock synchronization
- DDHCP, the Network Time Protocol for clock synchronization
Why this is the answer
NTP keeps the system clock aligned with remote time servers. SMTP is for sending email and has nothing to do with time synchronization.
