What are blank finals in Java?

Final variables that are never initialized
Final variables initialized in the constructor
Constants that can change value
Static final fields only

The correct answer is: Final variables that are never initialized

Blank finals in Java are variables that are declared with the "final" keyword, but without being initialized. The other choices are incorrect because B: Final variables can be initialized in the constructor, but that is not limited to blank finals. Any final variable can be initialized in the constructor. C: Constants, by definition, cannot change their value. Therefore, this choice contradicts the concept of a final variable. D: Static finals are variables that are initialized once and cannot be changed thereafter. This concept differs from that of blank finals, where the variable can never be initialized.
