class Boo
{
Boo(String s) { }
Boo() { }
}
class Bar extends Boo
{
Bar() { }
Bar(String s) {super(s);}
void zoo()
{
// insert code here
}
}
Option B is correct because anonymous inner classes are no different from any other class when it comes to polymorphism. That means you are always allowed to declare a reference variable of the superclass type and have that reference variable refer to an instance of a subclass type, which in this case is an anonymous subclass of Bar. Since Bar is a subclass of Boo, it all works.
Option A is incorrect because it passes an int to the Boo constructor, and there is no matching constructor in the Boo class.
Option C is incorrect because it violates the rules of polymorphism—you cannot refer to a superclass type using a reference variable declared as the subclass type. The superclass is not guaranteed to have everything the subclass has.
Option D uses incorrect syntax.
The argument in Boo should be string reference or value but not a declaration!
