Answer:
Jquery used $ sign for performing jquery actions.There are other frameworks which uses the same $ sign, for eg:- angular,knockout etc. so if 2 different frameworks uses same $ symbol, then one of them might stop working.In order to prevent this jquery introduces a function called noConflict().You can use your own custom variable to perform jquery action like the below example.

        var j = $.noConflict();
        j(document).ready(function(){
             j("button").click(function(){
                     j("p").text("jQuery Rocks!");

The response will return as object and also as string, whereas with response.d we can get the data. for eg:-if your ajax call to webmethod returns "True" or "False".so your response will be displayed as "Object" or [Object][object] so inorder to fetch actual data, you can write as response.d, it will fetch "True" or "False"
