. Implement pagination with a StandardSetController.

Here’s why:

1. StandardSetController: This controller is specifically designed to handle pagination in Visualforce pages. It helps in managing large sets of records efficiently by fetching only a subset of records at a time, thus reducing the view state size.
2. View State Limits: The view state limit issue arises because the Visualforce page is trying to handle too much data at once. By implementing pagination, only a small subset of data is loaded and stored in the view state at any given time, which helps in staying within the view state limits.
