Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Scenario: The app must be able to run both online and offline. If the mobile device on which the app runs is connected to the internet, the app must immediately submit the status report.
When data is submitted offline, the data must be stored in the app until the app is back online.
Mobile users often need to be productive even when they have limited or no connectivity.
LoadData and SaveData combine to form a simple mechanism to store small amounts of data on a local device. By using these functions, you can add simple offline capabilities to your app.
The SaveData function stores a collection for later use under a name.
The LoadData function reloads a collection by name that was previously saved with SaveData. You can't use this function to load a collection from another source.

The question and answer are pretty ambiguous, but based on the the fact that it calls out in the case study that there needs to be a visual indicator when offline, I believe you are correct.

This key sentence regarding for "You must display a visual indicator in the app". So you need to create some label which will display to user online/offline status. But for submitting your should know online status when user will click on the button, because when he load the app it can be in offline but after connection will return and on submitting moment will be online. This case in answer "C".
