Frontend Performance
A developer follows an older tutorial and writes `<Image src="/hero.jpg" priority />` on this app's actual installed Next.js version. What's the accurate assessment?
A
This is definitely broken and will throw a build error
B
This is working from a deprecated API (confirmed as of Next.js 16) — it may still function during a transition period, but signals stale knowledge; the current recommended approach is preload (used deliberately) or fetchPriority="high"
C
priority was never a real prop in any version of next/image
D
This is the current, fully up-to-date recommended approach
