Cisco IOS XE software is a network operating system used by Cisco enterprise routers and switches. RESTCONF and NETCONF are two protocols used for network device management in Cisco IOS XE.

RESTCONF (RESTful API for configuration) is an HTTP-based protocol that enables network administrators to manage network devices by sending HTTP requests to network devices. RESTCONF uses JSON and XML formats for data exchange. It supports CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations and provides a standardized way of accessing and manipulating network device configuration.

NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol) is another protocol used for network device management in Cisco IOS XE. It is an XML-based protocol that provides a programmatic interface to network devices. NETCONF supports CRUD operations and provides a standardized way of managing network device configuration.

Now, let's examine the options provided in the question:

A. RESTCONF supports JSON and XML and NETCONF supports XML. This statement is incorrect. RESTCONF supports JSON and XML, but NETCONF supports both JSON and XML.

B. RESTCONF supports XML and NETCONF supports JSON and XML. This statement is also incorrect. RESTCONF supports JSON and XML, but NETCONF supports both JSON and XML.

C. RESTCONF and NETCONF supports JSON and XML. This statement is correct. Both RESTCONF and NETCONF support both JSON and XML formats.

D. RESTCONF supports XML and NETCONF supports JSON. This statement is incorrect. RESTCONF supports both JSON and XML formats, while NETCONF supports both JSON and XML.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C. RESTCONF and NETCONF support JSON and XML.
