Answer
Indexes should be created on heavily searched columns.
Columns that are often used in WHERE clauses or joins should be indexed for performance improvement. In an online store, if users frequently search for products by category, adding an index on the 'category_id' column in the 'products' table can accelerate query execution. This design choice optimizes search functionality.
