Explanation

A 401 Unauthorized HTTP error means the request lacks valid authentication credentials. The Cisco Webex REST API uses Bearer token authentication via the HTTP Authorization header. The correct fix is to include 'Authorization': 'Bearer <WEBEX_TOKEN>' in the request headers. Choice B uses the wrong header name ('Authentication' instead of 'Authorization') and wrong placement. Choice C embeds credentials in the URL, which is insecure and incorrect for Webex. Choice D also uses the wrong header name ('Authentication' instead of 'Authorization'); the correct header name is 'Authorization'.
