What role does Metaspace play in Java's memory model?
Multiple choiceHardchapter-14-curatedpremiumperformance-tuningoutofmemoryerrors
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
C. Stores class metadata outside the Heap.
Why
Metaspace stores class metadata in Java and is allocated outside the traditional heap. Unlike the PermGen space it replaced, Metaspace can grow dynamically, thus reducing the likelihood of OutOfMemoryError related to class loading.
