Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

* As per definition of API by Mulesoft , it is Application Programming Interface using HTTP-basedprotocols. Non-HTTP-based programmatic interfaces are not APIs.

* HTTP-based programmatic interfaces are APIs even if they don't use REST or JSON. Henceimplementation based on Java RMI, CORBA/IIOP, raw TCP/IP interfaces are not API's as they are notusing HTTP.

* One more thing to note is FTP was not built to be secure. It is generally considered to be an insecure protocol because it relies on clear-text usernames and passwords for authentication and does not use encryption.

* Data sent via FTP is vulnerable to sniffing, spoofing, and brute force attacks, among other basic attack methods.

Considering the above points only correct option is

-XML over ActiveMQ

- XML over SFTP

- XML/REST over HTTPS
