What is an API?

Application Protocol Interface
Application Principal Interface

The correct answer is: Application Protocol Interface

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of protocols, tools, and definitions for building software and applications. It acts as a communication bridge between different software systems and allows them to interact with each other. Option B, C, and D all provide incorrect definitions as they do not accurately describe the purpose of an API. Option B and C use incorrect terms, while option D adds an unrelated term. It is important to understand the correct definition of an API in order to properly use it in software development.
