Q. In terms of canonicalization, what is often done with HTTP vs HTTPS or WWW vs non-WWW versions of a site?

A
Ensure all versions have identical content with no redirects
B
Choose one version as primary (eg, https://) and redirect the others via 301s
C
Use different content on each to confuse crawlers
D
Delete the non-preferred versions entirely
Solution:

It best to pick one (HTTPS typically) and use 301 redirects or canonical tags to that version This prevents splitting authority between duplicate versions.
