Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The OAuth 2.0 Asset Token Flow is Salesforce's purpose-built answer for connected devices and IoT-style integrations. It is designed for assets that need to act on behalf of a physical device or asset record rather than a human user. That makes it the correct fit for sensors, GPS trackers, or smart devices that must securely post telemetry or create service actions in Salesforce. User-agent, web-server, or username-password flows are built around user identity or generic application access, not around a registered device/asset relationship. The architectural advantage of the asset token model is that it ties the authorization context back to the asset, which is exactly what you want when the platform must know which device generated the event or maintenance alert. This is why option D is the best answer in Salesforce terms.
