It's one of those questions. Solution matches this link:

However, the encore examcram says explicitly Chef is declarative...
Holy hell, this test is a mess...
Thanks for correcting me.
But Saltstack is also declarative...
I hate Cisco for ham-fisting automation when they cannot bother doing proper questions around INTRODUCTION to programming. I'm not a programmer, but these programing questions are infuriating.
the provided answers are correct

Well, I have been reading about it a lot. My conclusion is that both CHEF and SaltStack are DECLARATIVE. However, Chef does MORE Procedural config tasks than saltstack.
So my above answer is wrong
A lot of conflicting information. I tried to review the official information about this topic:
hat is a Declarative Model Language:
this means a user describes the desired final state (for example, “this VLAN must be present” or “this route must be present”) rather than describing a series of steps to execute.
Chef
Use simple declarative definitions for common tasks or easily extend them to support the most unique environmental requirements. SRC:https://www.chef.io/products/chef-infra
Chef, with its easy to implement, declarative, and configuration management capabilities, can aid in overcoming some of the challenges faced by IT Teams.
SRC: https://www.chef.io/webinars/managing-your-endpoint-state-as-code
Chef is built around a couple simple concepts: achieving a desired state and a centralized modeling of IT infrastructure. Chef enables you to quickly manage almost any infrastructure. Chef is based on Ruby, uses a declarative intent-based model, is agent-based, and refers to its automation instructions as recipes.

Chef, another popular configuration management tool, follows much the same model as Puppet. Chef is based in Ruby, uses a declarative model, is agent based, and refers to the Chef automation instruction as recipes (groups of which are called cookbooks).

SALTSTACK
SaltStack supports both of the leading methodologies to define system configurations. Follow a declarative methodology using SaltStack’s powerful requisites system, or go imperative with SaltStacks built-in ordered execution.
SRC: https://docs.saltproject.io/en/getstarted/flexibility.html
You can use SaltStack’s declarative configuration language, YAML and Jinja, to define the desired State of the machine in a clear and concise way.

He is not misleading. There are conflicting information about this, but most likely Chef is Declarative based on the official website not blogs. Read my post from official sources. 1 point in the exam could make the difference in failing the test or succeeding.
No, Chef is procedural and Saltstack is declarative.
