Which method would you use for synchronous requests in REST Assured?

• A. get(), post(), put(), delete()
• B. send(), receive(), update(), delete()
• C. start(), execute(), modify(), finish()
• D. create(), alter(), fetch(), drop()

Answer: (A)

In REST Assured, the methods used for making synchronous requests are indeed get(), post(), put(), and delete(). These methods correspond directly to the standard HTTP verbs that are utilized to interact with RESTful web services.

When a request is made using any of these methods, REST Assured performs the operation immediately and waits for a response before proceeding. This synchronous behavior ensures that the subsequent code execution is dependent on the completion of the request, which is typical when interacting with APIs that require immediate results or feedback.

The other options, while they appear to describe operations that could be relevant in the context of REST API actions, do not correspond to the naming conventions used in REST Assured for making direct HTTP calls. Therefore, they wouldn't be applicable for synchronous requests in this framework. The first group of methods is specifically designed to handle the main CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations that align with REST principles.
