Which Java NIO class is best suited for reading data from a network socket?

PipedInputStream
ByteBuffer
FileChannel
SocketChannel

The correct answer is: SocketChannel

SocketChannel is the best suited class for reading data from a network socket because it provides a bidirectional communication channel for client-server interactions. PipedInputStream is used for inter-process communication and acts as a buffer for info between Java threads. ByteBuffer is used for reading and writing binary data and is not specific to network sockets. Finally, FileChannel is used for reading and writing data to files and is not intended for use with network sockets.
