   A network administrator is automating the retrieval of device inventory from a Meraki dashboard API. The API requires an API key in the 'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key' header and supports an optional 'organizationId' query parameter. The administrator has the API key in a variable 'api_key' and the organization ID in 'org_id'. Which code snippet correctly authenticates and retrieves the inventory?

   • Aheaders = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + api_key} response = requests.get('https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/{org_id}/inventory', headers=headers)
   • Bheaders = {'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': api_key} response = requests.get('https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/{org_id}/inventory', headers=headers)
   • Cresponse = requests.get('https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/{org_id}/inventory', auth=(api_key, ''))
   • Dparams = {'X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key': api_key} response = requests.get('https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations/{org_id}/inventory', params=params)
