What Java feature eliminates the need for a goto statement?

  1. The switch statement

  2. The break and continue statements

  3. The finally clause

  4. The if-else construct

The correct answer is: The finally clause

Java's finally clause is used in try-catch-finally blocks to ensure that a code block always executes, regardless of exceptions or returns. This eliminates the need for a goto statement, which would need to be used to jump to different parts of a code block in case of an error. The other options, such as the switch statement, break and continue statements, and if-else construct, do not directly replace the need for a goto statement.
