The correct answer is option 3: addMouseMotionListener()

Key Points

  • addMouseMotionListener() is the correct method used in Java to register a class that listens to mouse motion events (such as mouse movement and dragging).
  • It is part of the Java AWT and Swing packages.
  • The class must implement the MouseMotionListener interface and override methods like:
    • mouseMoved(MouseEvent e)
    • mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)

Additional Information

  • addMouse() – Incorrect; this is not a valid method in Java AWT/Swing.
  • addMouseListener() – Registers a listener for mouse clicks, presses, releases, etc., but not motion.
  • eventMouseMotionListener() – Not a valid method or API in Java.

Hence, the correct answer is: option 3: addMouseMotionListener()
