Correct answer & explanation
✓
Java ME provides a subset of Java SE APIs for embedded devices.
Java ME (Micro Edition) is designed for resource-constrained devices like sensors, mobile phones, and embedded systems. It provides a subset of the Java SE APIs, along with additional APIs tailored for small devices, such as the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). This allows developers to write Java applications that run on devices with limited memory, processing power, and display capabilities.
