What is the typical protocol used to access data from object storage?

The typical protocol used to access data from object storage is HTTP (Option C). Object storage systems, such as those used in cloud environments, typically expose their data through RESTful APIs over HTTP. This allows for easy access and manipulation of data objects over the web. Unlike traditional block or file storage, object storage is designed for scalability and is commonly used for storing large amounts of unstructured data, such as media files, backups, and archives.

HTTP is the standard protocol for web communications, making it the ideal choice for accessing data in object storage environments, which are often cloud-based or designed for remote access.
