XML seems like it could be relevant, but I don't think it's the protocol REST depends on. I'm leaning towards HTTP.

I feel like SSH could be related somehow, but I don't think it's the right choice for REST APIs.

I think REST APIs primarily use HTTP, but I'm not entirely sure if there are other protocols involved.

Easy peasy! The REST API is all about web-based communication, so it has to be using HTTP as the underlying protocol. That's a no-brainer.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know REST is used for web services, but I'm not sure if it's specifically dependent on HTTP or if there are other protocols it can use. I'll have to review my notes on this.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. The REST API is built on top of the HTTP protocol, so the answer has to be A. HTTP.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know REST is used for web services, but I can't remember if it's specifically tied to HTTP or not. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. The REST API is all about web-based services, so I'm pretty confident the answer is HTTP.

I bet the answer is HTTP. After all, REST stands for Representational State Transfer, and that's all about the HTTP protocol.
