successfully? (Choose all that apply)

public interface CanHop {}

public class Frog implements CanHop {

Lecturer : Sampa Rasanie Withanachchi 1

4. Which statement(s) are correct about the following code? (Choose all that apply)

public class Rodent {

protected static Integer chew() throws Exception {

System.out.println("Rodent is chewing");

return 1;

public class Beaver extends Rodent {

public Number chew() throws RuntimeException {

System.out.println("Beaver is chewing on wood");

return 2;

A. It will compile without issue.

B. It fails to compile because the type of the exception the method throws is a subclass of the
type of exception the parent method throws.

C. It fails to compile because the return types are not covariant.

D. It fails to compile because the method is protected in the parent class and public in the
subclass.

E. It fails to compile because of a static modifier mismatch between the two methods.
