Hi
I was looking at sample questions posted by Esri on the web dev certification path:
http://training.esri.com/Courses/CertSample_EWDA101/player.cfm
I find it difficult to understand why is answer B actually not correct

I had a look at the suggested references to documentation and it does seem that botf for Feature Service and Feature Service Layer it is possible to delete features using the applyEdits operation:
For feature service:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#//02r3000000nv000000
says:
- Required Capability:Create,Update,Delete. Create required to add features, Update required to update features, and Delete required to delete features."
Also later down the page attached sampel shows how to delete features:
{
"id" : 1,
"deletes" : [
34,44
]
}
For feature service layer:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgis-rest-api/index.html#//02r3000000r6000000
"This operation adds, updates, and deletes features to the associated feature layer or table in a single call...." - OK
How should this question be interpreted?
Comments on this please!
