Explanation

In an HTTP request, a parameter name is the key portion of a key-value pair in a query string or form body. Given a request like /Financials?User=Week1, 'User' is the parameter name.

Common mistakes.

A. 'Yes' would represent a parameter value or a separate value token, not the identifying name of a parameter.
C. 'Week1' is the value assigned to the 'User' parameter, not the parameter name itself.
D. 'Financials' represents the URI path or application resource component, not a parameter name in the query string.

Concept tested. HTTP request parameter name vs value identification
