Correct answer: a redirect URI.
Why this is the answer
The OAuth 2.0 implicit grant flow is used by client-side web applications (like single-page applications or mobile apps) to get an access token. After a user successfully authenticates with Azure AD, the access token is returned to the client's redirect URI. This URI must be pre-registered in Azure AD to ensure the token is sent only to a trusted location, preventing token interception. A reply URL is an older term for a redirect URI, primarily used in SAML-based authentication. While functionally similar, "redirect URI" is the current and correct terminology for OAuth 2.0. A key (client secret) is not used in the implicit grant flow because client-side applications cannot securely store secrets. An application ID is generated by Azure AD upon registration; it's not something the developer provides for initial registration.
