How can you make a class part of the Collection interface?

By inheriting from a class that implements Collection
By using generics to specify Collection as a type parameter
By directly implementing the Collection interface or one of its subinterfaces
By including collection-related methods in the class definition

The correct answer is: By directly implementing the Collection interface or one of its subinterfaces

Inheriting from a certain class does not necessarily mean it will become part of the Collection interface. Additionally, using generics only specifies the type parameter, it does not automatically make the class part of the interface. Including collection-related methods in the class definition does not necessarily mean it will adhere to the methods and requirements of the Collection interface. The only surefire way to make a class part of the Collection interface is by directly implementing the interface or one of its subinterfaces. This means the class will have to implement all of the methods and adhere to all of the behaviors defined by the Collection interface.
