Viola, a system administrator, installs IIS on a Web server and creates two websites. She installs the necessary HTTPS encryption certificate on the server and proceeds to bind the HTTPS protocol to the first website using default settings. This binding is successful. Next, she proceeds to bind the HTTPS protocol to the second website. Which of the following is most likely to cause an issue when binding the HTTPS protocol to the second website?
A) The HTTPS encryption certificate should not be installed on the Web server.
B) IIS cannot run multiple websites simultaneously.
C) The first website is using port 443, so the second website cannot use the same port.
D) A Web server cannot be configured to host more than one website with HTTPS binding.

Port 443 is the default port for HTTPS communication. Since the first website is already bound to port 443 using the HTTPS protocol, the second website cannot use the same port for HTTPS binding. Viola will need to select a different port for the second website or use a different IP address for each website.
