    Question

    What is the relationship between the Java Virtual Machine

    (JVM) and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)?
    A The JVM is a part of the Java Development Kit (JDK), not the JRE. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The JVM and the JRE are independent of each other. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The JVM is included as a part of the JRE. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The JVM is an optional component that can be installed separately from the JRE. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The JVM is only required for running compiled Java programs, not for development. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a crucial component of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The JRE is a package of software that provides the necessary libraries and other components required to run Java programs. The JVM is responsible for executing Java bytecode, which is the intermediate representation of Java code after it is compiled. When you install the JRE, you are also installing the JVM, because the JVM is the part of the JRE that actually runs Java applications. The JRE includes the JVM, core libraries, and other files that support the execution of Java applications. Therefore, the correct statement is that the JVM is included as a part of the JRE, making C the correct answer.
