Given this code snippet:

$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://api.example.com/data' -Method POST -Body @{id=5; name='Alice'} -ContentType 'application/json'
$response.status

What will be the output if the API returns {"status":"success"}?

A5

B@{id=5; name=Alice}

Csuccess

DError: Cannot convert body to JSON

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand body conversion
The hashtable in -Body is automatically converted to JSON because -ContentType 'application/json' is specified.
Step 2: Access response property
The API returns JSON with a 'status' property; Invoke-RestMethod converts it to an object, so $response.status returns 'success'.
Final Answer:
success -> Option C
Quick Check:
Response property access = success [OK]

Quick Trick: Hashtable body auto-converts to JSON with correct ContentType [OK]

Common Mistakes:
