Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A.

B.
Custom Token-based Authentication may not adhere to open standards and could introduce vulnerabilities or interoperability issues.
C.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol and is widely adopted as an open standard for authentication and authorization in modern, cloud-native applications.
D.
Basic Authentication is insecure and not recommended for cloud-native applications that require robust identity management.
