Explanation

RESTCONF HTTP Operations

RESTCONF uses standard HTTP methods to interact with network devices, and HEAD (B) and GET (E) are both valid HTTP operations within the RESTCONF protocol. GET retrieves data from a resource, while HEAD works similarly to GET but returns only the HTTP headers without the response body - useful for checking resource existence or metadata.

The distractors are incorrect because PULL (A), ADD (C), and REMOVE (D) are not standard HTTP methods used in RESTCONF; the actual write operations in RESTCONF are POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. Note that option F appears to be a duplicate of E (GET), which is a common exam trick to test attention to detail - only one instance should be selected.

Memory Tip: Think of RESTCONF as a RESTful API built on standard HTTP - if you know your HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS), you can immediately eliminate made-up options like PULL, ADD, and REMOVE. A helpful acronym is "GET the HEAD of the resource" to remember these two read-oriented operations together.
