Java - Polymorphism

Why does Java resolve overloaded methods at compile time rather than runtime?

ABecause method signatures are checked during compilation

BBecause Java does not support runtime polymorphism

CBecause method overriding is not allowed

DBecause Java uses dynamic typing

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand method overloading resolution
Overloaded methods differ by signature, which compiler checks to select correct method.
Step 2: Understand Java typing system
Java is statically typed, so method calls are resolved at compile time based on parameter types.
Final Answer:
Because method signatures are checked during compilation -> Option A
Quick Check:
Compile-time polymorphism resolved by signature check [OK]

Quick Trick: Overloading resolved by signatures at compile time [OK]
