Format: ArrayList Remove All Even Numbers

What is the correct way to remove all even numbers from this ArrayList?

nums.add(4);

Difficulty: Hard  |  Topic: ArrayList Remove All Even Numbers  |  Cycle: 2 (Advanced)
Why This Answer?

Option A skips elements after removal (index shift). Option C causes ConcurrentModificationException (can't modify during for-each). Option D doesn't actually remove. Option B iterates backward, avoiding index issues.

Common Mistake
Watch Out!

Using forward iteration when removing, causing skipped elements due to index shifts.

AP Exam Strategy

To remove during iteration: iterate BACKWARD so indices of unchecked elements don't shift.
