What kind of types can Java generic methods operate on?

  1. Only Object types

  2. Specifically typed objects according to the bounds

  3. Any object that extends Throwable

  4. Only numeric types

The correct answer is: Specifically typed objects according to the bounds

Generic methods in Java can operate on any specified type, making option A incorrect. Option C is incorrect because Throwable is a specific class and not all objects extend from it. Option D is incorrect because generic methods can operate on any specified type, not just numeric. The correct option, B, is the only one that accurately describes the types that generic methods can operate on, as they are specifically typed objects according to the bounds.
