information needed to process a single request. Hence option A is the correct
choice. All other options are incorrect.
Q6. Which phase of JSF life cycle uses the decode
method to extract new value from the request parameters?
Answer choices: (Select
best answer)
A. Restore view
B. Apply request values
C. Invoke application
