What method is used to read a file in the BufferedInputFile example?

  1. readLine

  2. read

  3. inputStream

  4. BufferedReader

The correct answer is: readLine

The BufferedInputFile example uses the `readLine()` method to read a file, making option A the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because - Option B, `read()`, reads only a single character at a time, which would not be efficient in reading an entire file. - Option C, `inputStream`, is a data stream but is not specifically used for reading files. - Option D, `BufferedReader`, is a type of character stream that wraps around other underlying streams, but does not specifically read files.
