What does setLayout(null) enable you to do?

  1. Automatically manage component size and position

  2. Use layout managers

  3. Set component positions absolutely

  4. Disables component placing

The correct answer is: Set component positions absolutely

The setLayout(null) method allows you to disable the default layout manager and instead explicitly set the positions of components within a container. This means that components will not automatically adjust their size or position when the container is resized, and you must manually specify the coordinates for each component. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose of setLayout(null).
