Answer Options
An API is a program that allows for data transfer.
An API is a programming language for network programmability.
An API is a programming interface or standard allowing one program to communicate with another program.
An API allows for programs to be virtualized.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
An application program interface (API) is a method the programmer has created to allow other programs to communicate with their program. The interprogrammability is required when another program wants to share data with the API. Although an API allows data transfer, it is not a program specifically written for the transfer of data. An API is used for network programmability, but it is not a language for network programmability. An API does not allow for a program to be virtualized.
