To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Euro returns correct values - This option is correct. In the Euro
class, the getCountry(String timeZone)
method calls the super.getCountry()
method, which is inherited from the Money
class. Since the getCountry()
method in the Money
class does not take any arguments and simply returns the value of the country
field, this method will return the correct value.
Option B) An exception is thrown at runtime - This option is not mentioned in the given code snippet. Therefore, it is incorrect.
Option C) Yen and Euro both return correct values - This option is incorrect. The Yen
class overrides the getCountry()
method and returns super.country
. However, the super.country
expression is incorrect. The country
field is private
in the Money
class and cannot be accessed directly by the Yen
class. Therefore, the Yen
class will not return the correct value.
Option D) Compilation fails because of an error at line 25 - This option is correct. The Yen
class attempts to access the country
field of the Money
class using super.country
, but the country
field is private
and cannot be accessed from a subclass. This will result in a compilation error.
The correct answers are A and D.
