Which API must an engineer use to change a netmask on a Cisco IOS XE device?

The correct answer is C. RESTCONF/YANG. RESTCONF paired with YANG data models is the standard programmatic API for configuring Cisco IOS XE devices directly. RESTCONF exposes a RESTful HTTP interface to the device's YANG-modeled configuration and operational data, allowing engineers to GET, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE config

Explanation

RESTCONF paired with YANG data models is the standard programmatic API for configuring Cisco IOS XE devices directly. RESTCONF exposes a RESTful HTTP interface to the device's YANG-modeled configuration and operational data, allowing engineers to GET, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE configuration elements like interface netmasks. Meraki API is for Cisco Meraki cloud-managed devices. SD-WAN API targets Cisco's vManage/SD-WAN controller. DNAC (Cisco DNA Center) is a network management platform - it can push config but is not the direct device-level API.
