+In the provided Java example, we have different ways of applying synchronization:
+**Synchronized Method on Instance (this)**:
+The syncMethodOnInstance method is synchronized on the instance of the class (this).
+This means that only one thread can execute this method on the same instance of SynchronizedExample at any given time.
+**Synchronized Block on Instance (this)**:
+In the syncBlockOnInstance method, a specific block of code is synchronized on the current instance (this).
+This allows for more granular control, as only the code within the synchronized block is subject to mutual exclusion, as opposed to the entire method.
+**Synchronized Method on Class (Class object)**:
+The syncMethodOnClass method is a static method synchronized on the Class object of SynchronizedExample.
+This means that only one thread can execute this method across all instances of the class at a time. It's useful for controlling access to static or class-level data.
+**Synchronized Block on Class (Class object)**:
+The syncBlockOnClass method contains a synchronized block on the Class object of SynchronizedExample.
+This synchronized block restricts execution to one thread across all instances for that specific block of code, useful for handling static data shared across instances.
+<note>
+These synchronization methods in Java are crucial for thread safety when multiple threads access and modify shared resources. Using **synchronized** on instance methods or blocks (**this**) is suitable for instance-specific resource management, while using synchronized on static methods or blocks (**Class object**) is appropriate for class-level resource management, such as static variables.
