In a chat application, you need to ensure a particular message stays in view even after new messages arrive. Which hook would assist in achieving this functionality?

To ensure that a particular message stays in view even after new messages arrive in a chat application, you can use the useRef hook. useRef allows you to create a reference to a DOM element or any mutable value, making it useful for persisting references across renders and updates, which is what's needed to keep a message in view. The other options, while useful in other contexts, are not specifically designed for this purpose.
