What happens during aliasing in Java?

Two variables refer to the same memory location
An object is renamed
A new alias is created for a method
A variable is declared using another type

The correct answer is: Two variables refer to the same memory location

In Java, aliasing occurs when two variables are assigned to the same memory location. This can happen when an object is assigned to a new variable without being copied, or when two variables are declared equal to each other. This can lead to unexpected results if one variable is modified, as the change will also be reflected in the other variable due to their shared memory location.
