Right Answer:
OAuth is an open standard for access delegation commonly used for token-based authentication and authorization. It allows third-party applications to access a user's resources without sharing their credentials.

In API authentication, OAuth works by having the user authorize the application to access their data. The process involves:

1. The user is redirected to an authorization server to log in and grant permission.
2. The authorization server issues an access token to the application.
3. The application uses this access token to make API requests on behalf of the user.
4. The API validates the token and grants access to the requested resources.
