What is a major difference between a correct and a simple implementation of entrySet()?

Correct implementation allows modification of the map
Simple implementation is faster
Simple implementation uses less memory
Correct implementation does not allow null keys

The correct answer is: Correct implementation allows modification of the map

A correct implementation of entrySet() allows for the modification of the map, meaning that values can be added, removed, or updated within the map. This is an important feature, as it allows for more flexibility and functionality in managing the map's data. Option B is incorrect because the speed of the implementation is not a major difference. Option C is also incorrect because the amount of memory used is not a major difference. Option D is incorrect because null keys can actually be used in both correct and simple implementations of the entrySet() method.
