Answer: B

Explanation:

To ensure that your app can interact with a Data Connect service instance, add code to your app to parse the connection information in the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable.

The value of the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable contains the information that your app needs in

order to interact with the Data Connect service.

In the first REST method that your app calls, use the user ID and password from the VCAP_SERVICES

environment variable to authenticate by using HTTP basic access authentication. The first call returns an

authentication cookie, which other REST calls from your app can use.
