Explanation

cf api is correct because it is the dedicated Cloud Foundry CLI command for setting (or viewing) the API endpoint URL of a Cloud Foundry instance - for example, cf api https://api.example.com. Without this step, the CLI has no target platform to communicate with.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. cf login authenticates you (username/password/SSO) against an already-configured endpoint - it does not set the endpoint itself.
• B. cf target switches your active org and space after you're already logged in; it does not configure the API URL.
• C. cf endpoint is not a real Cloud Foundry CLI command and does not exist.

Memory tip: Think of cf api as "telling the CLI where the API lives" - it's always the first command you run before cf login, so API → Login → Target is the natural setup sequence to remember.
