Who developed Java and when?

• A. Microsoft in 1992
• B. Sun Microsystems in 1995
• C. IBM in 2000
• D. Google in 2004

Answer: (B)

Java was developed by Sun Microsystems, led by James Gosling. The project began in the early 1990s (initially named Oak) and was released to the public in 1995 as Java 1.0. This release established Java’s platform-independent nature through the Java Virtual Machine, encapsulated in the slogan “write once, run anywhere.” The other options don’t match the historical origin: Microsoft didn’t create Java in 1992, IBM wasn’t the developer in 2000, and Google wasn’t the originator in 2004.
