Developing Microsoft Azure and Web Services — Question 96

You are designing an ASP.NET Web API application.
You need to select an HTTP verb to allow blog administrators to moderate a comment.
Which HTTP verb should you use?

Answer options

• A. GET
• B. POST
• C. DELETE
• D. PUT

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D (PUT) because this verb is typically used to update or modify an existing resource, which in this case refers to moderating a comment. Options A (GET) and B (POST) are used for retrieving data and creating new resources, respectively, while C (DELETE) is meant for removing resources rather than modifying them.
