   A junior administrator is writing a script to query cluster health information from the VxRail API. The script currently uses HTTP basic authentication. The administrator notices that the API returns HTTP 401 errors intermittently, even though the credentials are correct. The administrator wants to improve reliability and reduce the risk of credentials being exposed in logs. What should the administrator do?

   • AIncrease the timeout on the HTTP client to allow the API more time to authenticate the request.
   • BUse the /v1/hosts endpoint with a PUT method to update the authentication method to OAuth2.
   • CContinue using basic authentication but encode the credentials with Base64 before sending them in the Authorization header.
   • DSwitch to token-based authentication by calling the /v1/sessions endpoint, storing the returned token, and including it in the Authorization header for subsequent requests.
