Question

In Java, which comparison about Collisions and Load Factor is accurate?

  1. There is no practical difference in behavior, performance, or API design when Collisions and Load Factor is involved.
  2. A lower load factor uses more memory to reduce collision pressure, while a higher load factor saves memory but can slow operations.
  3. The oldest option related to Collisions and Load Factor is always the right production choice regardless of context.
  4. Differences around Collisions and Load Factor are mostly cosmetic, so correctness and maintainability do not change.

Hint

Focus on the behavior or tradeoff, not just the keyword.

Answer and rationale

Correct answer: B. A lower load factor uses more memory to reduce collision pressure, while a higher load factor saves memory but can slow operations.

A lower load factor uses more memory to reduce collision pressure, while a higher load factor saves memory but can slow operations. This is the comparison that usually separates memorization from understanding.
