B. Analyzes dependencies between modules and classes. Here's why the other options are incorrect: (a): Jdeps is not for creating runtime images. Tools like jlink are used for that purpose. (c): Jdeps is not for documentation generation. Tools like Javadoc are used for that. (d): Jdeps is not a compiler. Javac is the tool used for compiling Java source code. Explanation: Jdeps is a command-line tool included in the Java Development Kit (JDK) starting from version 8. It's a static analysis tool that helps developers understand the dependencies between modules and classes in a Java application. Jdeps can analyze: Class file dependencies: It identifies which classes depend on other classes. JAR file dependencies: It shows which JAR files an application or library depends on. Module dependencies (Java 9 and above): It analyzes dependencies between modules in a modular project. By using jdeps, developers can: Identify unused dependencies. Refactor code to reduce dependencies and improve modularity. Prepare for migration to a modular project structure (Java 9 and above).
