D Correct answer
Explanation

Type 4 JDBC drivers are pure Java implementations that convert JDBC calls directly into the database's native network protocol without any intermediate middleware. This makes them platform-independent and typically the fastest and most efficient driver type. Type 1 uses ODBC bridge, Type 2 uses native client libraries, and Type 3 uses middleware translation.
