A Correct answer
Explanation

The setNoCacheHeaders() method takes HttpServletResponse as a parameter because it needs to modify HTTP response headers to prevent caching. Request parameters don't control caching behavior - only response headers like Cache-Control and Pragma do. The method returns void and doesn't throw ServletException as header setting is a straightforward operation.
