Answer: C

Explanation:

A 401 error response indicates that the client tried to operate on a protected resource without providing the proper authorization. It may have provided the wrong credentials or none at all.

Note: answer ‘HTTP Status Code 200’ 4xx code indicates a “client error” while a 5xx code indicates a “server error”.
