Answer
Transaction won't propagate. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Spring's transaction management relies on proxies. If a method within the same class calls another method, it bypasses the proxy, so transaction management annotations aren't applied as expected. For instance, if you have a method annotated with `@Transactional` that calls a private helper method, the transaction settings won't apply to the helper method. The solution is to move the method to a separate bean or use AspectJ weaving.
