What is the precedence of the multiplication (*) operator relative to the addition (+) operator in Java?

Lower
Equal
Higher
None of the above

The correct answer is: Higher

In Java, the multiplication operator (*) has a higher precedence than the addition operator (+). This means that in an expression containing both operators, the multiplication will be evaluated first before the addition. Option A is incorrect because it states that the precedence of multiplication is lower, which is false. Option B is also incorrect because it suggests that both operators have equal precedence, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect because it does not provide any information about the precedence of the two operators.
