Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
A.
This header is used to suggest a filename to the user-agent when the response content is being downloaded. It does not indicate the content type. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
B.
This header is commonly used to indicate the media type or content type of the response. It specifies the format of the data being returned, such as "application/json" or "text/html". This header is directly relevant to determining the content type of the response. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
C.
This header specifies the size of the response content in bytes. It does not provide information about the content type. Hence, this answer is incorrect.
D.
This header is used to specify the encoding applied to the response content, such as gzip or deflate. It does not convey information about the content type. Thus, this answer is incorrect.
E.
This header is used to indicate the range of bytes being returned in a partial response. It does not provide information about the content type. Thus, this answer is incorrect.
