The correct answer is D. OAuth. Explanation: One primary security design principle for REST APIs is OAuth, which is an open standard for access delegation commonly used as a way to grant websites or applications limited access to user information without exposing passwords. OAuth provides a secure and scalable approach to handling authentication and authorization for RESTful services.

If the question is asking for a REST API-specific security mechanism: The answer is D. OAuth. OAuth is a widely used framework for securing REST APIs, providing token-based authentication and authorization. If the question is asking for a general security design principle: The answer is A. Fail-safe defaults. Fail-safe defaults are a fundamental principle of secure design, ensuring that access is denied unless explicitly permitted. Hence, Answer is A.
