B Correct answer
Explanation

Java programs achieve platform independence through the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java source code is compiled to bytecode, which the JVM interprets or compiles to native code for the specific platform. The JVM abstracts away platform-specific details, allowing the same bytecode to run anywhere. Option B is correct.
