Answer
Interfaces allow multiple inheritance without ambiguity.
Java does not support multiple inheritance with classes to avoid the diamond problem (ambiguity in method resolution). Interfaces provide a way to implement multiple inheritance since a class can implement multiple interfaces. For example, a class 'SmartPhone' can implement both 'Camera' and 'Phone' interfaces, combining functionalities without conflict.
