Which method must be called by the user when an InputFile object is no longer needed?

  1. close()

  2. dispose()

  3. finalize()

  4. clean()

The correct answer is: dispose()

The other options are incorrect because A) close() and dispose() both perform similar functions, but dispose() is used more specifically for disposing of resources used by the InputFile object. C) finalize() is used to perform any final actions on an object before it is destroyed, but it is not specific to the InputFile object. D) clean() is not a method used for handling objects and resources.
