The correct answer is: C. Use @Cache annotation

✅ Explanation:
When the requirement is to show the cached results that were first accessed, even if the data is updated elsewhere, you're essentially looking to retain and serve stale data temporarily to maintain consistency during user navigation. Let's break down each option:

🔹 A. Use OFFSET in SOQL queries
What it does: OFFSET is used to skip a number of rows in a SOQL query, useful for pagination.

Limitation: It doesn’t cache data—every query hits the database and gets fresh results, which violates the requirement of showing cached data.

✅ Good for pagination, ❌ bad for caching.

🔹 B. Use OFFSET WITH CACHE in SOQL queries
Fact: This is not a valid SOQL syntax.

There’s no such thing as OFFSET WITH CACHE in Salesforce SOQL.

❌ Invalid option.

🔹 C. Use @Cache annotation
Usage: The @AuraEnabled(cacheable=true) annotation (for Lightning Web Components or Aura) caches the Apex method result on the client-side.

Once data is fetched, the same result is served from the cache when the method is re-invoked unless explicitly refreshed.

✅ Best fit for requirement: Ensures that even if backend data changes, users still see the same cached data during pagination or navigation.

🔹 D. Use a StandardSetController
Usage: Useful for standard pagination with VF pages.

It retrieves live data on each query.

It doesn’t cache results, so if data changes in the backend, the user sees new data, not what was originally accessed.

❌ Not aligned with the caching requirement.

✅ Final Answer: C. Use @Cache annotation
