Challenge #1 of 2

Q:
Too much loading in an app can be really bad! For that reason, we've decide to avoid AJAX calls for some parts of it.

In our app, we pass the current category and the list of categories directly from the server, but not the list of products. Then, once the app bootstraps, we must make an AJAX call for the products.

In theory... we could just dump everything in our template and have the page load instantly... So... why don't we do that?

a)

Because if we did that, our HTML source would be too large and hard to read.

b)

We could do that, but it would mean that our controller code needs to load more data. And so, the whole page would take longer to return from the server.

c)

Because our products data come from an external source, so we have no choice but to load them using an external API.

d)

Because our products are a highly volatile piece of data, meaning, they change all the time, so it's better to load them via AJAX.
