Developer Associate – Question missing critical word

[FernandoPJ]

Hello, I’d like to submit a question wording for review:

You are building a distributed system using KMS where you need to encrypt data at a later time. An API must be called that returns only the encrypted copy of the data key which you will use for encryption. After an hour, you will decrypt the data key by calling the Decrypt API then using the returned plaintext data key to finally encrypt the data.
Which is the MOST suitable KMS API that the system should use to securely implement the requirements described above?

The final question should be

Which is the MOST suitable KMS API request …

The answers are all action methods from the KMS API, but the way it is worded, calling it just an “API” could mean you’re asking for the “namespace” of the API. It should be worded as “KMS API request”, or action, or operation. But such wording is vital from an REST API viewpoint.

The answers are all from the KMS Operations list: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/APIReference/API_Operations.html
