Selected Answer: B

Not A. This header is required to specify the encoding type. Not C. We are viewing the hostname so a GET request is correct. Not D. This is only needed for PUT and POST requests. Answer B. Replace -u cisco:cisco parameter with -u ‘cisco:cisco’. There is likely a typo somewhere because quotes are required around the credentials.

quotes are not required around the credentials, but recommended, since bash might otherwise interpret special characters like ! or $ which will result in unexpected behaviour.
