defaultOptions do not work

[sanjiv-fusemachines]

Issue Description

The defaultOptions configuration is not functioning as expected when setting up the Apollo Client. Specifically, the fetchPolicy defined under defaultOptions.query is not being honored.

Apollo Client Version: @apollo/client 3.8.9

`ApolloClientFactory.apolloClient = new ApolloClient({

cache: new InMemoryCache(),
link: ApolloLink.from([
createMiddlewareContextLink(options?.middlewareContextLinkOptions),
...
]),

defaultOptions: {
query: { fetchPolicy: 'no-cache' },
},

ssrMode: !isBrowser(),

});`

Reproduction Steps

• defaultOptions is not working for mutation hooks generated by apollo client.
• It only works when you explicitly send fetch-policy in the useCustomHookQuery({
  ...,
  fetchPolicy: "no-cache"
  }).

this works, but I think I don't think I need to set this explicitly. Anyone facing similar issue?

@apollo/client version

3.8.9

If you are using this with a hook like useQuery, you have to set the watchQuery default option, not the query one:

defaultOptions: {
-  query: { fetchPolicy: 'no-cache' },
+  watchQuery: { fetchPolicy: 'no-cache' },
},
