Explanation

PUT is correct because in RESTful API conventions (which Huawei OPS follows), PUT is used to replace or fully update a resource/managed object at a known URI - making it the standard method for modifying an existing object's value.

A (POST) is for creating new resources or triggering actions, not modifying an existing managed object's value.
C (PATCH) partially updates a resource, but Huawei OPS uses PUT for object value modification; PATCH is a less universal method not always implemented in OPS contexts.
D (GET) is read-only - it retrieves data without making any changes, so it cannot modify a value.

Memory tip: Think of the CRUD mapping - PUT = Update (the "U" in PUT matches "Update"). When you want to set a managed object to a specific value, PUT puts that value in place.
