The type erasure process is necessary for both I and II. The Java virtual machine cannot work with generic types and therefore requires the type erasure process to replace generic types with their bounds or Object types during compilation. To maintain compatibility with older versions of Java, type erasure is also necessary as generic types were not available in older versions of Java. Choice III, on the other hand, is not correct as generics do work with primitives and can be used with wrapper classes.
