Final answer:

The source port number in a TCP header is E293.

Step-by-step explanation:

The source port number in a TCP header is a 16-bit number that identifies the port from which the TCP segment originates. In the given hexadecimal format, the source port number would be the first 4 hexadecimal characters: E293. This can be converted to a decimal number for convenience if needed.
