Which of these is a result of calling the default 'toString()' method in Java?

A unique identifier of the object
A string representation of the object's fields
The class name followed by the hash code of the object
The memory location of the object

The correct answer is: The class name followed by the hash code of the object

The default 'toString()' method in Java returns a string representation of an object. It includes the class name followed by the hash code of the object, representing its memory address. Option A is incorrect because a unique identifier for an object is usually assigned by the JVM, not the 'toString()' method. Option B is incorrect because while the default 'toString()' method may include certain fields, this is not guaranteed and can be overridden by a custom implementation. Option D is incorrect because the memory location of an object is not the same as its hash code.
