Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. WebFlux can handle more concurrent requests due to its non-blocking nature.
Why
WebFlux, being non-blocking, allows servers to handle more concurrent requests than Spring MVC, which uses a thread-per-request model that can become a bottleneck under high load.
