Answer
'This' refers to the current object. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
The 'this' keyword is used within an instance method or constructor to refer to the current object. In an e-commerce system, if a 'Product' method uses 'this.price', it specifically refers to the price field of the current product object.
