Java Byte Code

D.

You can compile your program into bytecodes on any platform that has a Java compiler.

The bytecodes can then be run on any implementation of the Java VM.

That means that as long as a computer has a Java VM, the same program written in the Java programming language can run on Windows 2000, a Solaris workstation, or on an iMac.

The correct answer is A. It can run on any platform.

Java byte code is the compiled output of Java source code that is executed on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Byte code is a binary format that is designed to be platform-independent, meaning that it can run on any platform with a compatible JVM.

This is possible because the JVM provides a layer of abstraction between the byte code and the underlying hardware and operating system. The JVM translates the byte code into native machine code, which can be executed by the processor. Because the JVM is available for many different platforms, Java byte code can be executed on any platform that has a compatible JVM installed.

Option B is incorrect because Java byte code is designed to be platform-independent and does not need to be compiled for a specific platform.

Option C is partially correct because Java byte code does require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed on a platform in order to run. However, this is not the only requirement, as the platform must also have a compatible JVM installed.

Option D is incorrect because Java byte code does not require a Java compiler to be installed on a platform in order to run.

Option E is incorrect because Java byte code does not require a Java compiler to be installed on a platform in order to run, and the presence of a compiler is not relevant to the execution of byte code.
