Select one: A. the code to interface between an application and RAM B. the code to interface between an application and a peripheral like a printer C. the code the CPU recognizes to perform a procedure in an application D. the currently active part of an application

An application programming interface (API) is the code the CPU recognizes to perform a procedure in an application.

Explanation:

An application programming interface (API) is the code the CPU recognizes to perform a procedure in an application. API allows an application to communicate with another application, or an operating system, database, network, etc.

An Application Programming Interface (API) creates a consideration for a problem and specifies how clients should interact with software components that implement a solution to that problem.

More recently, API has been used to refer to a specific type of interface between a client and a server, which has been described as a “contract” between both - such that if the client makes a request in a specific format, it will always get a response in a specific format or initiate a defined action.This is a specialized form of API, defined as a Web API.

i think the answer is b.

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
