How can one get a null Robot object according to the text?

  1. By instantiating NullRobot directly

  2. Using newNullRobot method and passing the type

  3. Calling a constructor of NullRobotProxyHandler

  4. Through a specialized factory method not mentioned in the text

The correct answer is: Using newNullRobot method and passing the type

It is incorrect to instantiate NullRobot directly as there are no constructors mentioned in the text. Similarly, calling a constructor of NullRobotProxyHandler is incorrect as there is no mention of this class in the text. Option D is also incorrect as the text does not mention any factory methods. Option B is the correct answer as the text specifically mentions using the newNullRobot method and passing the type in order to get a null Robot object.
