Rest API - HTTP Status Codes

Ares.status(204).send();

Bres.status(204).json({ message: 'Deleted' });

Cres.sendStatus(204).json({ message: 'Deleted' });

Dres.status(200).send('Deleted');

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand 204 status meaning
204 means 'No Content', so the response must not include a body.
Step 2: Choose code that sends 204 with no body
res.status(204).send(); sends status 204 with empty body, which is correct. Sending JSON or message body breaks 204 rules.
Final Answer:
res.status(204).send(); -> Option A
Quick Check:
204 = no content, so send empty response [OK]

Quick Trick: 204 means no content; send empty response [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Sending JSON body with 204 status
Using 200 instead of 204 for delete success
Chaining json() after sendStatus(204)
