Refer to the exhibit. The code includes the beginning of a short Python script that is constructed to notify in the guard in case of an intruder alert. Which code snippet completes the script?

Question

Options

• Arequest.put('https://api.ciscospark.com/v1/rooms' + room, headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token }, data = { 'toPersonEmail': '[email protected]', 'html': '<b>Warning!</b> Intruder alert in Section 12' } )
• Brequest.post('https://api.ciscospark.com/v1/messages', headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token }, data = { 'roomId': 'Perimeter Guard Space', 'markdown': 'Warning! Intruder alert in Section 12' } )
• Crequest.post('https://api.ciscospark.com/v1/rooms' + room, headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token }, data = { 'text': 'Warning! Intruder alert in Section 12' 'markdown': 'Warning! Intruder alert in Section 12' } )

Explanation

Option D is correct because sending a new message in the Cisco Spark (Webex) API requires a POST request to the /v1/messages endpoint, targeting a recipient via toPersonEmail with a markdown-formatted body - all of which D provides correctly.

Why the distractors fail:

• A uses PUT (for updating existing resources) instead of POST, targets the wrong /v1/rooms endpoint, and uses an html field that isn't a valid Spark message parameter.
• B uses the correct method and endpoint but passes 'roomId': 'Perimeter Guard Space' - a roomId must be a unique system ID, not a human-readable room name; this would fail to resolve.
• C posts to /v1/rooms (which creates/manages rooms, not messages) and contains a syntax error: two dictionary values are written back-to-back without a separating comma.

Memory tip: Think "POST a message, email the person" - you're creating (POST) a new message (/v1/messages), and you identify a direct-message recipient with toPersonEmail, not a room name or a PUT update.
