@RequestMapping(path = "/delete", method = "DELETE")
public String deleteItem() {
    return "Deleted";
}

Apath attribute cannot be used with method

Bmethod attribute should be RequestMethod.DELETE, not a string

CMethod name must be delete, not deleteItem

Step 1: Check method attribute type
The method attribute expects an enum value like RequestMethod.DELETE, not a string "DELETE".
Step 2: Confirm correct usage
Using a string causes a syntax error; correct usage is method = RequestMethod.DELETE.
Final Answer:
method attribute should be RequestMethod.DELETE, not a string -> Option B
Quick Check:
method attribute requires enum, not string [OK]

Quick Trick: Use RequestMethod.DELETE enum, not string "DELETE" [OK]
