Explanation
HTTP is a transport protocol that both SOAP and REST can use, making A (True) correct. SOAP, while protocol-agnostic by design, most commonly runs over HTTP/HTTPS in practice, sending XML envelopes via HTTP POST requests. REST is even more tightly coupled to HTTP, using its verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and status codes as core architectural elements.
There is no distractor to debunk here since B (False) is the only alternative - it's simply incorrect because it implies HTTP is exclusive to one paradigm, which is not the case.
Memory tip: Think "HTTP is the highway, SOAP and REST are different vehicles that both drive on it." The highway doesn't care which car uses it.
