Answer
ArrayList iteration is faster due to contiguous storage.
ArrayList stores elements in a contiguous block, making iteration faster and more cache-friendly. In a LinkedList, each element is a node with pointers, making iteration slower due to pointer traversal. For applications requiring frequent iteration, prefer ArrayList for better performance.
