C is correct! This is the port number that the Squid server listens to for incoming HTTP requests. Normally this is set to a value of 3128, but it is also common to set this to a value of 8080. Example: #http_port 3128 now we can enable port 8080 to be listened by squid instead of default port 3128 as follows: http_port 8080
