[Q] The ideal shortest length for a horizontal dipole antenna resonator is half the wavelength of the operating frequency. When the resonator must be shortened due to constraints, an additional inductor must be inserted somewhere on the antenna to compensate for the natural resonant frequency of the resonator and bring it to the operating frequency, but this reduces the efficiency of the antenna compared to a half-wavelength antenna. The diagram shows a common solution. If the total length of the resonator (red part) is equal in each scheme, the names of the schemes and their ranking from highest to lowest based on transmission efficiency are as follows:
C - Top with emphasis, B - Middle with emphasis, A - Bottom with emphasis

[Q] The shortest ideal length for a vertical GP antenna resonator is 1/4 wavelength of the operating frequency. When the resonator must be shortened due to constraints, an additional inductor must be inserted somewhere on the antenna to compensate for the natural resonant frequency of the resonator to match the operating frequency, but this reduces the efficiency of the antenna compared to a 1/4 wavelength antenna. The diagram shows a common solution. If the total length of the resonator (red part) is equal, the names and ranking of the schemes according to transmission efficiency from highest to lowest are:
C - Top with emphasis, B - Middle with emphasis, A - Bottom with emphasis

[Q] When space limitations or the need to shorten an HF dipole antenna to achieve natural resonance, a coil can be inserted at some point in the antenna circuit, or the entire oscillator can be made into a coil, to compensate, forming a "tuned antenna." Under optimal design conditions, compared to full-size half-wave dipoles:
It can meet resonance and impedance matching conditions similar to full-size antennas, but its radiation efficiency will definitely be lower than that of full-size antennas.
I was able to find three questions from the question bank that you can refer to.
