When is the Float object, created in line 3, eligible for garbage collection?
A.

just after line 5

B.

just after line 6

C.

just after line 7

D.

just after line 8

Answer & Explanation

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Option A is wrong. This simply copies the object reference into the array.
Option B is wrong. The reference o is set to null, but, oa[0] still maintains the
reference to the Float object.
Option C is correct. The thread of execution will then not have access to the object.
