C Correct answer
Explanation

In Java, conditional statements inside an if-statement must evaluate to a boolean value. Option C uses the valid logical AND operator (&&) to combine two valid boolean comparisons, even though the condition itself can never be true. Other options either use invalid syntax or try to use an integer as a boolean.
