Answer
It automatically increases its capacity. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
When an ArrayList exceeds its current capacity, it grows automatically by creating a new, larger array and copying the elements over. This ensures that you can continue to add elements without manually resizing.
