What is the key difference between the poll() and remove() methods when used with a Queue in Java?

  • poll() returns null if the queue is empty, while remove() throws an exception.
  • poll() removes and returns the head of the queue if it's not empty, while remove() removes and returns the head but throws an exception if the queue is empty.
  • poll() removes and returns the head of the queue if it's not empty, while remove() returns null if the queue is empty.
  • poll() and remove() have the same behavior when used with a Queue.
In Java, the poll() method is used to retrieve and remove the head of a queue. If the queue is empty, it returns null. On the other hand, the remove() method also removes the head of the queue but throws a NoSuchElementException if the queue is empty. So, option (b) is the correct answer, with the explanation that the key difference is in the handling of empty queues.
