In WordPress architecture, what happens if two plugins try to modify the same hook with conflicting code?
ABoth plugins run their code without any conflict.
BWordPress throws a fatal error and stops loading.
CThe last plugin loaded overrides the previous one on that hook.
DThe database automatically merges the conflicting code.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand hook execution order

    Hooks run in order plugins load; later plugins can override earlier ones on the same hook.
  2. Step 2: Exclude other outcomes

    WordPress does not throw fatal errors for hook conflicts, nor merges code in the database automatically.
  3. Final Answer:

    The last plugin loaded overrides the previous one on that hook. -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Hook conflicts resolved by last loaded plugin [OK]
Quick Trick: Last plugin on hook wins conflicts [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking both plugins run without conflict
  • Expecting fatal errors on hook conflicts
  • Assuming database merges code automatically
