• C

• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because REST services are built on HTTP but are not required to implement every HTTP method - it's perfectly valid for some services to omit PUT (e.g., if they don't support resource updates). Option B is nonsensical because SOAP headers belong to the SOAP protocol, which is entirely separate from REST; REST services communicate via plain HTTP and have no SOAP envelope or header schemas. Option C is self-contradictory because REST is defined as an architectural style that runs over HTTP - a service that doesn't support HTTP cannot, by definition, be a REST service.

Memory tip: Think of REST as "married to HTTP" - it can choose which HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, etc.) to support, but it can never divorce HTTP itself. Anything mixing REST with SOAP concepts is always a trap answer.
