Selected Answer: A
OAuth uses tokens to strengthen REST API security compared to BasicAuth. With BasicAuth, the user's credentials (username and password) are sent with each request, which poses a security risk, especially if intercepted. In contrast, OAuth issues tokens (access tokens or bearer tokens) to clients after successful authentication, and these tokens are used for subsequent requests.
