In the context of the "The Complete Haskell Applicative Functors Course 2026", which of the following best describes the fundamental purpose of the `Applicative` type class beyond what `Functor` provides?
To provide a mechanism for applying a function wrapped in a context to a value wrapped in the *same* context, enabling structured computations.
To abstract over data structures that can be traversed in multiple directions, facilitating advanced data manipulation techniques.
To enable parallel execution of computations by providing explicit control over thread management and synchronization primitives.
To allow sequencing computations that might fail or be non-deterministic, enabling error handling and branching logic.

Consider the `Maybe` `Applicative` instance. If we have `f :: Maybe (Int -> Int)` and `x :: Maybe Int`, what is the primary advantage of using `<*>` over `fmap` to combine them to produce a `Maybe Int`?
`<*>` allows applying the function inside `f` to the value inside `x` only if *both* `f` and `x` are `Just`, handling potential `Nothing` values gracefully.
`<*>` ensures that if `f` is `Nothing`, the result is always `Nothing`, whereas `fmap` might incorrectly produce a value.
`<*>` enables sequential execution of multiple `Maybe` computations, guaranteeing that if any step fails, the entire sequence short-circuits.
`<*>` is more performant than `fmap` when dealing with `Just` values, as it avoids unnecessary context wrapping.
Q3Domain Verified
In "The Complete Haskell Applicative Functors Course 2026", the `ZipList` type is often used to illustrate `Applicative` behavior. What is the key characteristic of `ZipList`'s `Applicative` instance that distinguishes it from, say, `List`'s `Applicative` instance (if it had one, which it doesn't directly for `<*>`)?
`ZipList`'s `<*>` applies the function from the first list to *all* elements in the second list, creating a Cartesian product of results.
`ZipList`'s `<*>` combines elements from the two lists such that if either list contains `Nothing`, the entire result for that position becomes `Nothing`.
`ZipList`'s `<*>` ignores the function and simply concatenates the underlying lists.
`ZipList`'s `<*>` applies the function from the first list to the corresponding element in the second list, stopping when either list runs out of elements.
