A GridLayout is the best choice for creating a telephone keypad GUI, as it allows you to easily divide the screen into a grid of rows and columns, with each cell containing a button or other component. In this case, we want a grid with 4 rows and 3 columns, so we would use the constructor new GridLayout(4, 3). Option A would create a grid with 3 rows and 4 columns, which is not what we want. Option C is a FlowLayout which will not be able to create a grid or align the buttons in a specific pattern. Option D is a BorderLayout which is not suitable for creating a grid of buttons, as it only allows one component to be placed in each of its five regions (North, South, East, West, and Center).
