What is the default behavior of division operator (/) when applied to integers in Java?

Round up the result
Round down the result
Truncate the result
Convert to float and perform division

The correct answer is: Truncate the result

When dividing integers in Java, the default behavior of the division operator (/) is to truncate the result. This means that any digits after the decimal point will be removed, and the result will be a whole number. Option A is incorrect because the division operator does not round up the result. Option B is incorrect because it does not round down the result either. Option D is incorrect because it does not convert the integers to float but instead converts them to double, which can cause inaccuracies in the result.
