Can you explain how garbage collection works in C# and what you can do to optimize memory usage in your applications?

Garbage collection in C# automatically manages memory by freeing up unused objects. To optimize, you can reduce object allocation, implement IDisposable for unmanaged resources, and use memory-efficient collections when possible.
