Explanation

NX-API REST on Cisco Nexus switches uses SSH as its transport mechanism for secure communication. Choice A describes the NX-API CLI variant or Linux Bash shell access on NX-OS, not NX-API REST. Choice B is incorrect because NX-API returns data in JSON or XML format, not YAML. Choice C is incorrect because Java Message Service (JMS) is a messaging middleware standard not used by NX-API REST. SSH provides the encrypted channel over which NX-API REST requests and responses are transmitted on Nexus platforms.
