Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
ASP.NET session state enables you to store and retrieve values for a user as the user navigates ASP.NET pages in a Web application. HTTP is a stateless protocol. This means that a Web server treats each HTTP request for a page as an independent request. The server retains no knowledge of variable values that were used during previous requests. ASP.NET session state identifies requests from the same browser during a limited time window as a session, and provides a way to persist variable values for the duration of that session.

I understood that the data needs to be stored/saved in transient manner but not persisted anywhere. Data in DB storage is not transient by design so I think it is wrong answer (B is wrong IMO). Only A - session state is transient, safe and user-specific. App state is non-user-specific - that is why that one is wrong too. Profile properties is persisted so it is not transient as session state. Just my thoughts. May be wrong.
