Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

GET requests send data in the URL query string, which has practical limits. Browsers typically cap URLs around 2,000 characters, and servers also enforce maximum URL lengths. Therefore, GET requests DO have size limits, making the statement 'no size limit' false. POST should be used for larger data payloads.

AI explanation

False is correct — GET requests append parameters to the URL, and URLs have practical length limits enforced by browsers and web/proxy servers (commonly in the range of ~2,000–8,000 characters depending on the browser/server), so there absolutely is a size limit for data sent via GET. This is precisely why POST (which sends data in the request body, not the URL) is preferred for larger payloads. The statement's claim of 'no size limit' is a common AJAX-basics misconception being tested here.
