What are the two types of Apex Callouts available in Salesforce?

The correct answer identifies the two primary types of Apex Callouts available in Salesforce as Web Service and HTTP Callouts.

Web Service Callouts are specifically tailored for communication with web services through protocols like SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (Representational State Transfer). This allows Salesforce to send and receive structured data in response to requests made to external web services.

HTTP Callouts encompass all types of requests made over HTTP, which includes both RESTful and non-RESTful interactions. This flexibility allows developers to integrate Salesforce with a variety of external services by making standard HTTP requests such as GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE. These callouts are crucial for integrating Salesforce with external systems, enabling a wide range of functionalities including data retrieval, submission of data to external applications, and real-time processing.

In the context of the other options, while they mention callouts, they do not comprehensively capture the two distinct categories as effectively as Web Service and HTTP Callouts. For instance, API and Webpage Callouts might suggest a broader range of integrations but do not align with Salesforce's structured callout classifications. Similarly, SOAP and REST Callouts are specific protocols under the broader categories of Web Service Callouts, and thus don’t fully encapsulate the
