ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 85 of 100
The API economy creates higher-value services by connecting functions exposed by multiple providers over networks — APIs let systems combine capabilities without rebuilding each one.

Why not others:
- (b) describes publication of source code, associated with open-source software
- (c) describes robotic process automation, or RPA
- (d) describes distributed-ledger or blockchain technology
