Solution

The port numbers are included in the TCP header of a segment to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application. This is because port numbers are used to specify different applications or processes running on a computer that is connected to a network. When data arrives at a host, the system checks the port number in the TCP header to determine which application should receive the data. Therefore, the correct answer is option d.
