What does the Map interface allow you to do?

Maintain a list of unique elements
Map keys to values
Store elements in insertion order
Ensure no duplicate keys are present

The correct answer is: Map keys to values

A map is a data structure that allows for the mapping of unique keys to corresponding values, allowing for efficient access to and retrieval of data. Option A is incorrect because maintaining a list of unique elements is the purpose of the Set interface, not the Map interface. Option C is incorrect because the Map interface does not guarantee insertion order, unlike the List interface. Option D is also incorrect because the Map interface does not have any built-in mechanism for preventing duplicate keys, though it is possible to manually implement this functionality. Overall, the Map interface is specifically designed for the mapping of keys to values, making option B the correct answer.
