The payload.json file that has the correct contents is C. This file contains a JSON object with a single key, ''plaintext'', and a value that is the base64-encoded string of the data to be encrypted.This is the format that the Vault API expects for the transit encrypt endpoint1. The other files are not correct because they either have the wrong key name, the wrong value format, or the wrong JSON syntax.

I feel like option C is the one we discussed in class, but I need to double-check the specifics of the JSON structure.

I recall that the payload should include the plaintext data and the key name, but I can't remember the exact format.

I think it might be option B because it looks like it has the right fields for encryption, but I could be mixing it up with another example.

I remember we practiced a similar question about the payload structure for the transit engine, but I'm not sure which option is correct here.
