     9:   public void print() { System.out.println("Rectangle prints"); } 
    10: }
  1. Shape prints
  2. Rectangle prints
  3. The code will not compile because of line 4.
  4. The code will not compile because of line 5.
  5. The code will not compile because of line 9.




Answer



E.

Note

The code doesn't compile, so A and B are incorrect.

line 9 print() is marked as final in the superclass Shape, which means it cannot be overridden.
