Mohit's response touches on the use of React and its features like webpack for SEO but lacks a clear explanation of how SEO principles are specifically applied in web projects. His response could be improved by detailing the use of semantic HTML, meta tags, alt text for images, responsive design, clean URLs, performance optimization, and content quality, as outlined in the benchmark response. Additionally, Mohit's mention of website safety is not directly related to SEO and could be replaced with more relevant SEO practices.
