Explanation
Prisma Cloud uses JSON-based queries for scanning Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates such as Terraform, CloudFormation, and ARM templates. These queries use JSON path syntax (e.g., '$.resource[*].aws_s3_bucket') to traverse and evaluate the structured configuration data within IaC files. RQL (option D) is used for querying cloud resource configurations, network traffic, and audit events at runtime - not static IaC templates. API (option A) and XML (option B) are not the query formats used for this purpose in Prisma Cloud.
