Real-world example (ShopNest)
In ShopNest, an order page loads products with List<Product> so you can Add items to the cart and access them by index. Use IEnumerable<T> when you only need to loop (for example, printing invoice lines).
Say this in the interview

- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
