Selected Answer: B
All of these could technically be intercepted and determined based on the security posture of the API. The reason I believe it's B is because it's the most likely. You're more likely to find authentication headers and tokens through intercepting API traffic. Even if it's encrypted, you can use the intercepted traffic to determine the encryption being used to secure that traffic
