Its the D seach here (ctrl + f ) for : will return an Authorization Token The cisco page says that return authorization token , so de discustion over authorization and authentication is ended . and also its super obvios that return a token. https://developer.cisco.com/site/dnac-101/

Keyword - Authentication vs Authorization token

C. It reads a token from a local JSON file and posts the token to the DNAC URL. The Python function in the exhibit appears to read a token from a local JSON file by calling the json.load() function and passing in the file name as an argument. Then it makes a POST request to a specific URL using the requests.post() function and passing in the URL, the token and headers as arguments. The script also sets verify=False in the post method which could indicate that it is skipping SSL/TLS verification. Given the context of the question (DNAC) and the parameters passed to the post method, it can be inferred that the script is likely interacting with the Cisco DNA Center (DNAC) API and the token read from the local JSON file is an authentication token that the script is using to authenticate to the DNAC API.

Option A, "It returns HTTP Basic Authentication," is incorrect. While the function does use HTTP Basic Authentication to authenticate the request, it does not return the authentication itself. Option B, "It returns DNAC user and password," is also incorrect. The function does not return the DNAC_USER and DNAC_PASSWORD variables. Option C, "It reads a token from a local JSON file and posts the token to the DNAC URL," is also incorrect. The function does not read a token from a local JSON file and does not post a token to the DNAC URL. Instead, it makes an HTTP POST request to the DNAC URL and parses the response from the server as JSON.

D. It does not POST anything, it returns a token

The right answer should be D as the function is returning a token.

And D its authorization no authentication

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication

D, it is returning a token.

D: https://developer.cisco.com/learning/lab/dnav3-dnac-nbapi-hello-world/step/4

D is correct

The right answer is D because the function is returning the token.

D Is wrong.It says Authorization Token.It wld be correct if it was Authentication token.

Answer D, returns the token. Basic Auth is just a header not a value in python.

D because token = resp.json()['Token'] is corresponding to the response json payload which key is "token", so value will be the token
