Answer
HashMap allows one null key. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
In a HashMap, you can use a single null key, which is useful when you need to signify that a certain value is not associated with any specific key. However, retrieving a value with a null key should be used with caution.
