Had this question today in exam.

Can someone give me the link to the CCSE R80 guide book please

CCSE R80 pg 298 B Correct

Indeed, B is correct.

from CCSE R80 guide: Command sources allow you to communicate with the API server and perform many tasks using management APIs. • The SmartConsole GUI console — From SmartConsole, click the Command Line button to open a CLI window and enter API commands. For example, you can use the add host command to create a new host and then publish the changes. • The mgmt_cli Tool — Runs in Expert mode and lets you enter commands from a Windows or Linux computer. mgmt_cli uses the same authentication (username and password) as the GUI client; however, it does not require a GUI installation. • Gaia CLI — Log in to Gaia with an administrator account on the Security Management Server and enter API commands using Clish. • Web Services — Send HTTPS Post requests to the Security Management Server.
