Hi @KiranmaiP,

The answer could differ depending on how the question is written and context, but given what you've written and if I'm only selecting one - A.

See below for the answer why and also what B and D offers but based on the specific question doesn't quite fit.

A - The GlideRecord API is used for database operations.

The GlideRecord API is the primary means of interfacing with the database on the server-side code.

B - The GlideSystem API, which is referred to by the variable name gs in any server-side JavaScript, provides a number of convenient methods to get information about the system, the current logged in user, and date/time information.

D - The GlideAjax class enables a client script to call server-side code in a script include.

Thanks, Robbie
