Answer
'this' refers to the current instance of the class.
The 'this' keyword helps distinguish between class fields and parameters with the same name. It is crucial in constructors and methods to refer to the current object's fields. In a Product constructor, 'this.name' assigns the parameter value to the object's name field.
