A) 257? Really? That's way too low for a modern security system. I'm not even going to consider that one.

D) 19009 sounds like the kind of random port number I'd come up with if I was just guessing.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to carefully consider each option and try to eliminate the ones that don't seem right.

I'm pretty confident the correct answer is C) 259. That's the standard port for Security Gateway communication, if I'm remembering correctly.

Okay, I know the Security Gateway communicates on a specific port, but I can't remember which one off the top of my head. I'll have to eliminate the wrong answers.
