  1. Beagle b2 = (Beagle) dog1;

  2. Runtime Exception

  3. Beagle b4 = dog2;

  4. None of the above statements will compile

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To determine which statements will compile, let's analyze each option:

A. Beagle b2 = (Beagle) dog1; This statement will not compile because it is trying to cast a Dog object (dog1) to a Beagle object. However, dog1 is not an instance of Beagle, so the cast is not valid.

B. Runtime Exception This option is not applicable as it is not a valid code statement.

C. Beagle b4 = dog2; This statement will not compile because it is trying to assign a Dog object (dog2) to a Beagle variable (b4). In Java, you cannot assign an object of a superclass to a variable of its subclass type without explicit casting.

D. None of the above statements will compile This option is incorrect because statement A will compile.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) Beagle b2 = (Beagle) dog1.
