3Python and PowerShell are the two officially supported scripting languages for Check Point Management API automation, and that is straight from Check Point's own documentation and SDK packages. Perl and Ruby get tripped up on this one because they sound plausible, but Check Point ships dedicated tools and wrappers for Python and PowerShell specifically, so A and C is your lock.
Python and PowerShell are the two Check Point officially supports for Management API work, which makes sense when you think about what platforms they were targeting when they released the API tools. Quick question for you though: do you know WHY those two specifically made the cut over something like Perl or Ruby, meaning what did Check Point actually ship alongside the API to back up that support?
Python and PowerShell are the two languages Check Point officially ships SDK wrappers and automation examples for in the Management API documentation, so if you see Perl or Ruby on the exam just cross them off. Quick clarification question though, do you understand why those two specifically won out, meaning are you clear on how the Python SDK and the Windows-focused PowerShell module each target a different admin environment, or is the "why" behind the pairing still fuzzy?
