What type of variables does the assignment with primitives in Java affect?

  1. Object references

  2. Primitive values directly

  3. The class variables

  4. Java does not allow assignment with primitives

The correct answer is: Primitive values directly

When assigning a primitive value in Java, the assignment affects the primitive value directly. This means that any changes made to the assigned variable will directly affect the assigned value and not any other references or class variables. This is different from assigning object references, which affect the reference to an object rather than the actual object itself. Java does allow assignment with primitives, contrary to option D, which is why option B is the correct answer.
