Which layout manager allows you to create a grid of components?

  1. FlowLayout

  2. BorderLayout

  3. GridLayout

  4. BoxLayout

The correct answer is: GridLayout

The C GridLayout layout manager is the best choice for creating a grid of components because it allows components to be arranged in rows and columns, automatically resizing them to fit the available space. FlowLayout (A) will align components in a single row, while BorderLayout (B) will place components in five predefined areas: North, South, East, West, and Center. BoxLayout (D) is more flexible than GridLayout, but it aligns components in a single row or column, not in a grid format.
