I’m pretty confident it’s SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK, but I should double-check my notes just in case.

I feel like I might be mixing up the ACK and SYN/ACK parts. Was it SYN, ACK, SYN/ACK or something else?

I think the 3-way handshake starts with a SYN packet, but I'm not sure about the order of the next two.

I'm going with B. SYN, ACK, SYN/ACK seems like the correct flow for the 3-way handshake.

But the 3-way handshake starts with SYN, then ACK, and finally SYN/ACK to establish a connection.

Option C looks right to me. SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK is the classic 3-way handshake sequence.
