CTo ensure scalar fields are always used instead of objects
DBecause relationships are only for database design, not GraphQL
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand relationship impact

    Many-to-many relationships can cause complex nested queries that impact performance.

  2. Step 2: Recognize recursion risk

    Improper design can cause infinite recursion when querying nested related data.

  3. Final Answer:

    To avoid performance issues and infinite recursion in queries -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Good design prevents performance and recursion problems [OK]
Quick Trick: Design relationships to prevent recursion and slow queries [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking GraphQL lacks relationship support
  • Using scalar fields only
