CThe extension works with limited features

  1. Step 1: Understand Python import behavior

    If a module (extension) is not installed, Python raises ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError when you try to import it.

  2. Step 2: Check Flask behavior

    Flask does not auto-install or ignore missing extensions; it relies on Python's import system.

  3. Final Answer:

    ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError is raised -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Missing extension import = ImportError [OK]
Quick Trick: Always install extensions before importing to avoid errors [OK]
