In REST/HTTP semantics, "safe" means a method causes no server-side state change, and "idempotent" means repeated identical requests always produce the same end result. Which classification below is correct?

A GET is both safe and idempotent; POST is neither safe nor idempotent; PUT is idempotent but not safe
B GET is safe but not idempotent; POST is both safe and idempotent; PUT is idempotent but unsafe
C GET is idempotent but not safe; DELETE is safe but not idempotent; PATCH is always idempotent by specification
D POST and PUT are both safe and idempotent, while GET is safe but not idempotent
E DELETE is both safe and idempotent; GET is idempotent but not safe; POST is safe but not idempotent
