Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. It breaks transaction management; use interfaces for proxying.
Why
Transaction self-invocation is problematic because Spring's proxy-based AOP does not intercept calls made within the same class. This can be addressed by refactoring the method to an interface or another bean to ensure proper proxying.
