Question
You develop a SharePoint app for a toy company that uses the Representational State Transfer (REST} API for search. The site collections in the app have been crawled recently and use the default search schema. The app includes the following code segment: (Line numbers are included for reference only.) You create the following result sources. You need to ensure that the app only displays PDF documents. Which code segment should you insert at line 03?

Why each option
This question tests knowledge of referencing a custom SharePoint result source by its GUID in a REST search query to filter results to PDF documents only.
Result sources must be referenced by their GUID in the REST API; using a display name string like 'Site PDF' is not a valid value for resultSourceId and will not resolve to any result source.
The GUID '4C50FE18-B254-47A1-ABAD-0B6C4577D914' corresponds to a different result source and would return results scoped to that source rather than PDF documents.
The GUID '0F41A999-523A-41ED-AAAD-9D414A0FC3B4' corresponds to a different result source and would not filter results to PDF documents as required.
The GUID '82951A0C-6385-4E29-8D7F-4AB92FE9F536' is the identifier assigned to the 'Site PDF' result source created in the app. When assigned to resultSourceId in the REST query, SharePoint scopes the search results to only documents matching that result source's query transform, which targets PDF files. Using the correct GUID ensures the REST API applies the right content filter at query time.
