Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Increase the max_mem_usage_mb setting in limits.conf
Why this is correct
This directly raises the memory limit for lookups.
- ✗
Split the lookup into multiple smaller files
Why it's wrong here
Splitting requires multiple lookups and is more work.
- ✗
Convert the lookup to a KV Store lookup
Why it's wrong here
While KV Store can handle larger data, the immediate fix is adjusting memory limits.
- ✗
Increase max_match in the lookup definition
Why it's wrong here
max_match controls number of matches, not memory.
- ✗
Use the lookup command with local=t
Why it's wrong here
local=t is for distributed search, not memory.
