Question

In Java, which comparison about Reflection is accurate?

  1. There is no practical difference in behavior, performance, or API design when Reflection is involved.
  2. The oldest option related to Reflection is always the right production choice regardless of context.
  3. Reflection offers flexibility for frameworks, but direct typed code is clearer and safer for most application logic.
  4. Differences around Reflection are mostly cosmetic, so correctness and maintainability do not change.

Hint

Focus on the behavior or tradeoff, not just the keyword.

Answer and rationale

Correct answer: C. Reflection offers flexibility for frameworks, but direct typed code is clearer and safer for most application logic.

Reflection offers flexibility for frameworks, but direct typed code is clearer and safer for most application logic. This is the comparison that usually separates memorization from understanding.
