Understanding Server Components and State
In Next.js 14+, Server Components are used by default. How does this affect state management compared to traditional React apps?
AServer Components manage state exactly like Client Components, using useState and useEffect hooks.
BServer Components cannot hold React state or use hooks like useState, so state must be managed in Client Components or via server actions.
CState in Server Components is stored in the browser's local storage automatically.
DServer Components use a special hook called useServerState to manage state on the server.

Client vs Server Component State Behavior
Given a Next.js app with both Server and Client Components, where should you place state that controls UI interactions like button clicks?
AIn Client Components, because only they can hold interactive state and respond to user events.
BIn Next.js API routes, because they manage all state for the app.
CIn a global server-side database, because UI state must be shared across users.
DIn Server Components, because they render on the server and can update UI instantly.

💡 Hint
Consider which components run in the browser and can respond to user actions.

State Persistence Across Server and Client
In Next.js 14+, how is state persisted or shared between Server Components and Client Components during navigation?
AServer Components keep state in memory between requests; Client Components reset state on each navigation.
BBoth Server and Client Components share a global state object automatically.
CState in Server Components resets on each request; Client Components keep state in memory during navigation.
DState is stored in cookies and automatically synced between Server and Client Components.

Identifying Client Component Declaration
Which code snippet correctly marks a React component as a Client Component in Next.js 14+?
A
"client component";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}
B
export default function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}
C
"use server";

export default function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}
D
"use client";

import { useState } from 'react';

export default function MyComponent() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
}

Debugging State Loss in Next.js Navigation
A developer notices that state in a Client Component resets unexpectedly after navigating to a new page in Next.js 14+. What is the most likely cause?
AThe Client Component is unmounted and remounted because the page navigation causes a full reload instead of client-side routing.
BThe Server Component is holding the state, which resets on every request.
CThe useState hook is used incorrectly inside a Server Component.
DThe component is missing the "use client" directive, so state hooks do not work.

💡 Hint
Consider how Next.js handles navigation and component mounting.
