When passing an object to a method in Java, what gets passed?

The value of the object
A copy of the object
The reference to the object
The class of the object

The correct answer is: The reference to the object

When passing an object to a method in Java, the reference to the object is passed. This means that the memory location of the object is passed, rather than a copy of the object or the object's value. This allows the method to directly access and modify the object. Option A is incorrect because objects in Java are passed by reference, not by value. Option B is incorrect because a copy of the object is not directly passed. Option D is incorrect because the class of the object is not passed, but rather the reference to the object.
