Which statement is true?

  • A.Programs will not run out of memory.
  • B.Objects that will never again be used are eligible for garbage collection.
  • C.Objects that are referred to by other objects will never be garbage collected.
  • D.Objects that can be reached from a live thread will never be garbage collected.

Answer: D

Option D is correct.

Option C is wrong. See the note above on Islands of Isolation (An object is eligible for garbage collection when no live thread can access it - even though there might be references to it).

Option B is wrong. "Never again be used" does not mean that there are no more references to the object.

Option A is wrong. Even though Java applications can run out of memory there another answer supplied that is more right.
