Question: Which of the following statements regarding Java's memory management and garbage collection is true?

A) Java's garbage collector automatically frees memory occupied by objects that are no longer reachable, but it does not reclaim memory occupied by unreachable static fields.
B) The finalize() method can be overridden to perform cleanup actions before an object is garbage collected, ensuring that important resources are released.
C) The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) uses a reference counting mechanism for garbage collection, making it impossible for circular references to lead to memory leaks.
D) The WeakReference class allows the garbage collector to reclaim memory from objects even if they are still referenced, provided that there are no strong references to them.
