What makes the Generator pattern potentially more flexible than direct instantiation?

  1. It allows creation of objects at runtime

  2. You can pass different implementations for various needs

  3. It supports only primitive types

  4. Generators automatically handle exceptions

The correct answer is: You can pass different implementations for various needs

The Generator pattern allows for the creation of objects at runtime, making it the more flexible option compared to direct instantiation. This means that object creation can occur during program execution rather than at compile time, allowing for more dynamic creation. Option C is incorrect because the Generator pattern does not solely support only primitive types, but also more complex objects. Option D is also incorrect because generators do not automatically handle exceptions, this must be done manually. Option A may seem like a possible answer, but it is incorrect because the ability to pass different implementations for various needs is what makes the Generator pattern more flexible. By passing different implementations, the behavior of the object can be easily modified and adapted to different scenarios, increasing its flexibility.
