Answer
- D Because permanent redirects are stored by browsers and search engines and the old URL can hardly be reused afterwards
Explanation
The documentation warns: only use 301 if you never want to use the source URL again. Automatic redirects often arise incidentally from slug changes, which is why 307 is the default. Deliberately created, permanent redirects can use 301.
