Why is it important to return a fallback observable in catchError rather than just logging the error in Angular HTTP calls?

    Returning fallback data keeps the stream alive, allowing components to handle data gracefully.
  3. Final Answer:

    To keep the observable stream alive and prevent subscriber errors -> Option B

    Fallback observable keeps stream alive after errors [OK]
Quick Trick: Return fallback observable to avoid breaking streams [OK]
