A404 Not Found
B500 Internal Server Error
C200 OK
D401 Unauthorized
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

    500 Internal Server Error means the server had a problem but might succeed if retried.
  2. Step 2: Compare with other codes

    404 means resource missing (not temporary), 200 means success, 401 means auth error (not usually retried).
  3. Final Answer:

    500 Internal Server Error -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

MISTAKES
  • Retrying 404 which is a permanent error
