D) like you. I think it's a typo in their answer. JR
I would also say d. Overriding is what causes a polymorphism issue, not overloading.

I also agree, and so I'll move this to Mock Exam Errata.

Method overloading is one of the ways that Java implements polymorphism. Overridden methods allow Java to support run-time polymorphism. ie. Overridden methods are another way that Java implements the "one interface, multiple methods" aspect of polymorphism. this answer is according to my knowledge gained from a book called "The Complete Reference (JAVA2 third edition)" please check pg.158(Overloading Methods) & pg.215(Overridden Methods) if this is not the case then please give me a detailed explaination for this.

I think that both over-riding and overloading are forms of Polymorphism - "one interface, multiple implementations". But most of the OOP books claim that over-riding is the 'true polymorphism' as it allows runtime polymorphism.
