What will the pointcut expression execution(* *(..)) && within(com.example.repository..*) match?

AAll constructors in com.example.repository package

BAll methods in any class within com.example.repository package and its subpackages

COnly methods named '*' in com.example.repository package

Step 2: Understand within(com.example.repository..*)
This restricts matching to classes within the package and its subpackages.
Final Answer:
All methods in any class within com.example.repository package and its subpackages -> Option B
Quick Check:
All methods inside package and subpackages = All methods in any class within com.example.repository package and its subpackages [OK]
