REST stands for a. Representational State Transfer.

Explanation

REST is an architectural style for designing networked applications. It relies on a stateless, client-server, cacheable communications protocol -- typically HTTP. In a RESTful system, resources are identified by their URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), and these resources can be represented in multiple formats, such as JSON, XML, HTML, etc. The fundamental concept of REST is that clients and servers interact through a uniform interface, which simplifies architecture and separates implementation concerns. The stateless interactions mean that each request from a client to the server must contain all of the information that the server needs to fulfill that request, such as authentication tokens and session data. This enhances scalability and allows server responses to be cached for improved efficiency.
