The correct term for the process of determining which class's method to execute is dynamic method lookup or dynamic dispatching. When a method is called on an object, the JVM determines which implementation of the method to execute based on the actual type of the object at runtime. This is done dynamically at runtime, hence the name "dynamic method lookup". This allows for polymorphism and method overriding in inheritance hierarchies.
