API Development
In the Try It scenario, why does a 5-second client timeout against a 30-second server hold window degrade the system?

The client aborts and retries every 5 seconds regardless of real events, degrading toward short-polling behavior while the server still incurs the cost of holding each connection for that window
C
This configuration actually improves performance
D
The server automatically adjusts its timeout to match the client
