# Knowledge check: State or stateless - React Basic

1. **What is a stateless component?**
    
    * A component that doesn’t track its parent’s state.
        
    * <mark>A component that doesn’t track its own state.</mark>
        
2. **A stateful component must have a props object.**
    
    * <mark>False</mark>
        
    * True
        
3. **To turn a stateless component into a stateful component, you must pass it a props object.**
    
    * True
        
    * <mark>False</mark>
        
4. **The process of lifting up state can lead to: Select all that apply.**
    
    * <mark>A stateful child component controlling the state of a stateful parent component.</mark>
        
    * A stateful child component controlling the state of a stateless parent component.
        
    * A stateful component becoming a stateless component.
        
    * <mark>A stateless component becoming a stateful component.</mark>
        
5. **A prop doesn't have to always pass state.**
    
    * <mark>True</mark>
        
    * False
