@Arun said is correct why because java supports UNICODE characters that's why character range is 0 to 65535.

In C as we can use ASCII characters and to represents all ASCII character 8bits enough hence char size is 1 byte.
In JAVA we can use UNICODE characters which cover worldwide all alphabets sets. The no of Unicode characters is >256 and 1byte is not enough so to represent all characters we have to use 2bytes.
The range for 2bytes is 0 to 65535.

Hi Guys,
In character data type they (java creators) only considered the unsigned ( +ve) characters unlike in C like languages it was both signed and unsigned.So in C there was 2 ranges for character and integer(signed and unsigned).

Why is the answer not option B?
The range is determines by -2^n to 2^n-1.
Option B includes the -ve range & D doesn't.
Both are correct according to me.

In C as it occupies 1 byte its range is -128 to 127 but in Java char occupies 2 bytes so its range is 0 to 65535.
