easy📝 Syntax Q3 of 15

Spring Boot - Request and Response Handling

Areturn ResponseEntity.status(201, object);

Breturn new ResponseEntity<>(object, HttpStatus.CREATED);

Creturn ResponseEntity.created(object);

Dreturn new ResponseEntity<>(HttpStatus.CREATED, object);

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check ResponseEntity constructor usage
The constructor takes the body first, then the status code, so new ResponseEntity<>(object, HttpStatus.CREATED) is correct.
Step 2: Analyze other options
B is invalid syntax as status() takes only one argument; C is incorrect because created() expects a URI; D has parameters reversed.
Final Answer:
return new ResponseEntity<>(object, HttpStatus.CREATED); -> Option B
Quick Check:
Constructor order: body, status [OK]

Quick Trick: ResponseEntity constructor: body first, then status [OK]
