Answer
A method with a body in an interface. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Default methods in interfaces provide a way to add new functionality without breaking existing implementations. They have a method body and can be overridden by implementing classes. For instance, an 'Item' interface with a default method 'getLabel()' lets classes get a default label while allowing them to provide a custom implementation if needed.
