    GraphQL uses explicit types to define clear contracts between client and server.
  2. Step 2: Benefits of explicit types

    This ensures predictable data shapes and helps tools validate queries before execution.
  3. Final Answer:

    To ensure clear API contracts and predictable data shapes -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Explicit types = clear contracts = C [OK]
Quick Trick: Explicit types make APIs clear and predictable [OK]

  • Believing types are optional
  • Assuming types slow down queries
