What is NOT a feature of Java?

  1. Garbage collection

  2. Multiple inheritance through classes

  3. Platform independence

  4. Secure execution environment

The correct answer is: Multiple inheritance through classes

Java does not support multiple inheritance through classes. Instead, it uses interfaces to achieve multiple inheritance. This is because multiple inheritance can result in conflicts and ambiguity in the code. Therefore, Java prevents this issue by not allowing multiple inheritance through classes. The other features, such as garbage collection, platform independence, and secure execution environment, are all essential and widely recognized features of Java.
