Upon what does the polymorphic method call in Java depend?

  1. Early Binding

  2. Static Binding

  3. Late Binding

  4. No Binding

The correct answer is: Late Binding

A Early Binding in Java takes place at compile time, so the type of variable must be known beforehand. This is not the case for polymorphic methods, as the specific type of object being passed to the method may not be known until runtime. B: Static Binding also occurs at compile time, making it incompatible with polymorphism. D: No Binding is not a concept in Java and does not apply to polymorphic method calls.
