Basic usernames and passwords are too outdated for this.

I feel like I’ve seen SAML in other contexts, but for REST APIs, I think it’s more likely to be OAuth.

I’m a bit confused; I thought Basic usernames and passwords were used, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

I remember practicing a question about API authentication, and I think it was definitely OAuth that was mentioned.

I think Salesforce REST APIs use OAuth for authentication, but I'm not completely sure.

Telnet? No way, that's not secure at all. I'm pretty sure the answer is either A or D, using ssh with the private key.

I remember learning about this in class. I believe the key advantage is that it allows you to focus on the high-value items, which is what option B is describing. I'll go with that one.

I think option A might be right because using the nominal thickness sounds familiar, but I'm not completely sure if it's the best choice.
