Answer
It automatically reclaims memory from unused objects.
Garbage collection in the JVM helps manage memory by automatically reclaiming memory from objects that are no longer in use, preventing memory leaks. For instance, when local variables in a method go out of scope, the memory can be reclaimed, allowing the system to efficiently allocate resources for new objects.
