What keyword is not associated with garbage collection mechanism in Java?

this
finalize()
System.gc()
static

The correct answer is: static

The "static" keyword is not associated with garbage collection in Java because it is used to declare methods, variables, or blocks as class members. The "this" keyword is a reference to the current object, "finalize()" is a method which may be called before an object is garbage collected, and "System.gc()" is a method used to suggest the JVM to start garbage collection. All of these options are related to garbage collection in some way.
