What type of programming language is Java?

Compiled
Machine
Scripted
Parametric

The correct answer is: Compiled

Java is considered a "compiled" programming language because the code is first converted into machine code (another language that the computer can understand) before being executed. This is different from other types of languages such as "scripted" or "interpreted" where the code is executed line by line without being converted first. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because Java does not fit into those categories.
