UGH i hate this! APIs are NOT web specific at all!
Clear that the CCSP is not written by developers.
Communications between storage devices will use an API, kernels have APIs, IPC uses APIs, database comms use APIs. None of these have to use HTTP or any web technologies.
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a defined set of routines, standards, protocols, and tools that allow software applications to communicate with each other, particularly web-based applications. APIs enable programmatic interaction with services, databases, and other applications.
Why B is Correct?
Routines → Predefined sequences of operations that software can use.
Standards → Ensure interoperability between different applications and platforms.
Protocols → Define how API requests and responses are structured (e.g., REST, SOAP).
Tools → Include software development kits (SDKs), libraries, and frameworks.
