Acy.request('POST', '/api/items')

Bcy.request('POST', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10})

Ccy.request('GET', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10})

Dcy.request('/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10})

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check correct method and parameters for POST request
cy.request() takes method, URL, and body as parameters. cy.request('POST', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10}) correctly uses 'POST', URL, and JSON body.
Step 2: Identify errors in other options
cy.request('/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10}) misses method, defaults to GET; cy.request('GET', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10}) uses GET with body (invalid); cy.request('POST', '/api/items') misses body for POST.
Final Answer:
cy.request('POST', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10}) -> Option B
Quick Check:
POST request syntax = cy.request('POST', '/api/items', {name: 'book', price: 10}) [OK]

Quick Trick: POST requests need method, URL, and body in cy.request() [OK]
