Answer
Increased resource usage and complexity. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Prototype scope creates a new bean instance each time it's requested, which can increase resource usage and complexity in multi-threaded environments. It's useful when beans need to maintain state independently across threads. For example, if a ShoppingCart bean is prototype-scoped, each user session might store separate cart items, but this demands careful management of resources and lifecycle.
