Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Define widget options for configuration

    Why this is correct

    Options make widgets reusable and configurable without code changes.

  • Avoid using the widget's server-side script for any logic

    Why it's wrong here

    Server-side script is essential for data processing.

  • Use server-side scripts to fetch data

    Why this is correct

    Server-side scripts ensure security and performance.

  • Use client-side scripts exclusively for data retrieval

    Why it's wrong here

    Client-side scripts for data retrieval are insecure and inefficient.

  • Use the widget's 'Client Script' field sparingly and only for UI interactions

    Why this is correct

    Client scripts should handle UI interactions, not business logic.
