Spring Boot - Aspect-Oriented Programming

Why is @Around advice considered more powerful than @Before or @After advice in Spring AOP?

ABecause it requires less code to implement

BBecause it runs only after the target method completes

CBecause it automatically logs method execution time

DBecause it can control whether the target method executes and modify its return value

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand capabilities of @Around advice
@Around can decide to run or skip the method and change the returned value.
Step 2: Compare with @Before and @After advice
@Before and @After only run before or after but cannot prevent execution or alter return value.
Final Answer:
Because it can control whether the target method executes and modify its return value -> Option D
Quick Check:
@Around controls execution and return value [OK]

Quick Trick: @Around wraps method fully; before/after only run around it [OK]
