What will be the output if you run this Flask-SocketIO code?
@socketio.on('chat')
def chat_handler(msg):
    socketio.emit('chat_response', msg)

and a client sends 'chat' event with 'Hello'? Assume no broadcast parameter is set.
ANo client receives any message
BOnly the sender client receives 'chat_response' with 'Hello'
CAll clients receive 'chat_response' with 'Hello'
DAn error occurs due to missing broadcast parameter
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check emit call without broadcast

    Without broadcast=True, emit sends message only to the sender client.
  2. Step 2: Confirm no error occurs

    Broadcast parameter is optional; omitting it defaults to sending only to sender.
  3. Final Answer:

    Only the sender client receives 'chat_response' with 'Hello' -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    emit without broadcast=True sends to sender only [OK]
Quick Trick: No broadcast means message goes only to sender [OK]
