Yeah, TCP port 22 is the right answer. Others are for different protocols.

I remember learning about SSH in my networking class, but I'm drawing a blank on the default port. I'll have to make an educated guess and go with B.

Okay, let me think this through. SSH is a secure shell protocol, so it's likely using a standard TCP port. I'll eliminate the UDP options and go with B.
