Chapter 8, Problem 1MC
Program Description Answer

Static methods cannot be accessed by any non-static member variable within a class

Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Static method:

Static is an access modifier which cannot be accessed and is applicable on block, variable, methods, nested classes. Static keyword is added while declaring the block or variable or methods. A static member can be accessed before any objects of its class are created, and without even using the reference to any object.

Explanation for incorrect options:

a. Instance:

Instance variables are declared without the static keyword and are present outside any method declaration.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

b. Void:

it describes the return type of the method, where void means the method has no return value.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

d. Non-static:

Non-static variables can be accessed by any member variable.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
