Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Store sObjects in public static variables.
Why it's wrong here
Static variables do not solve view state size and can cause issues.
- ✓
Query only the fields needed in the page rather than entire sObjects.
Why this is correct
Reduces object size in view state.
- ✓
Mark member variables that do not need to be preserved across postbacks as transient.
Why this is correct
Transient variables are excluded from view state.
- ✗
Store large lists of static data in controller member variables.
Why it's wrong here
Stores data in view state, increasing size unnecessarily.
- ✓
Minimize the number of form components and controller state variables.
Why this is correct
Fewer state variables mean a smaller view state.
