Answer 1

Try this using useState. Set a boolean corresponding to user id which rerenders the elements with classname correct

const [status, setStatus] = useState({});

const clicka =(userId)=>{  
     setStatus(prevStatus=>{
         return {...prevStatus, [userId]: true}   
      }) 
 }

<div onClick={()=>{clicka(user._id)}} className={`js-choose-answer ${status[user._id] ? 'correct': ''}`}>< 
      <div>a</div><{user.opt1} </div></div>
</div>
