What layout manager flows components from left to right and then top to bottom?

  1. BorderLayout

  2. FlowLayout

  3. GridLayout

  4. BoxLayout

The correct answer is: FlowLayout

The FlowLayout manager is the only option that lays out components from left to right and then top to bottom. BorderLayout, GridLayout, and BoxLayout all have different layout patterns and do not follow this specific flow. BorderLayout divides the container into five regions and each component is added to a specific region. GridLayout places components in a grid pattern based on the number of rows and columns specified. BoxLayout organizes components in either a horizontal or vertical row. Only FlowLayout fits the given criteria of components flowing from left to right and then top to bottom. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
