Which statement is true?

  • A.Calling Runtime.gc() will cause eligible objects to be garbage collected.
  • B.The garbage collector uses a mark and sweep algorithm.
  • C.If an object can be accessed from a live thread, it can't be garbage collected.
  • D.If object 1 refers to object 2, then object 2 can't be garbage collected.

Answer: C

This is a great way to think about when objects can be garbage collected.

Option A and B assume guarantees that the garbage collector never makes.

Option D is wrong because of the now famous islands of isolation scenario.
