Can someone explain me why the answer I chose is incorrect? I thought the way you changed a block´s layout was with the answer I selected.


  1. Doesn't work

  2. It works and the Best one,

    higher priority than the <argument name="template" xsi:type..., explanation in 3.

  3. Works too :

    It works but the second one is the best because when the template value is specified in the template attribute template="..." have a higher priority when Magento generate layouts than when the template is set in <argument name="..."> one

  4. Doesn't work :

    (action node is deprecated)
