A@GetMapping("/user/{id}") public String getUser(@PathVariable int id) { ... }

B@GetMapping("/user") public String getUser(@PathVariable int id) { ... }

D@GetMapping("/user/{id}") public String getUser(@PathVariable String name) { ... }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Match URL pattern with method parameter
The URL has {id}, so the method must have @PathVariable int id to match the placeholder.
Step 2: Check annotation and parameter type
@GetMapping("/user/{id}") public String getUser(@PathVariable int id) { ... } correctly uses @PathVariable with int id and matches the URL pattern.
Final Answer:
@GetMapping("/user/{id}") public String getUser(@PathVariable int id) { ... } -> Option A
Quick Check:
URL {id} matches @PathVariable int id [OK]

Quick Trick: URL placeholder and @PathVariable name must match [OK]
