Rest API - Error Handling

Look at this REST API error response snippet:

{
  "status": 200,
  "error": "Invalid input data"
}

What is wrong with this error code usage?

AStatus 200 should not be used with an error message

BThe error message is missing a code

CStatus 200 means server error

DThe JSON format is incorrect

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the status code and message
Status 200 means success, but the message says "Invalid input data" which is an error.

Using 200 with an error message is incorrect; error codes like 400 should be used for invalid input.
Final Answer:
Status 200 should not be used with an error message -> Option A
Quick Check:
Status 200 = success, not error [OK]

Quick Trick: Match error messages with proper error status codes [OK]
