What does it mean when a method in Java uses a wildcard generic type?

It can only operate on Object types
It has bounded type parameters
It can operate on any type parameter
It uses unchecked or unsafe operations

The correct answer is: It can operate on any type parameter

A wildcard generic type in Java allows for flexibility in the data types that can be used with the method. This means that it is not restricted to just operating on Object types (A) or bounded type parameters (B). Additionally, it is not necessary to use unchecked or unsafe operations (D) when using a wildcard generic type. Instead, the method can operate on any type parameter, providing greater versatility in the types of data that can be utilized.
