What does the type field represent in the Problem Details (RFC 7807) format?

AA human-readable summary of the problem

BA detailed explanation of how to fix the problem

CThe HTTP status code of the response

DA URI reference that identifies the problem type

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the role of the type field
The type field is meant to provide a URI that identifies the problem type, allowing clients to find more information about the error.
Step 2: Differentiate from other fields
The title field provides a short summary, and status gives the HTTP status code, so these are not the type field's role.
Final Answer:
A URI reference that identifies the problem type -> Option D
Quick Check:
type = URI reference [OK]

Quick Trick: Remember: type is always a URI, not text [OK]
