Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

When transmitting sensitive data, the POST method should be used instead of GET because POST parameters are included in the request body rather than the URL. This keeps sensitive information out of server logs, browser history, and referer headers. The data should still be encrypted using HTTPS or other suitable encryption to protect it during transit over the network.
