Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Aura components can contain Lightning Web Components in their markup.
An LWC can contain an Aura component, provided the Aura component is wrapped or referenced according to framework rules, but Aura cannot directly contain arbitrary LWC without proper wrapping. Wait, actually, LWC can contain Aura components? No, LWC can contain Aura components ONLY if they are wrapped, but more precisely, Aura components CAN contain LWC. Let's verify: Aura can contain LWC, but LWC cannot contain Aura directly. Let's adjust the options.
