Reading through this question, it states that the component should resize its height (vertically) but not its width (horizontally). An object in North/South would resize its width when a window is resized to be wider, but its height remains constant. An object in East or West allows its height to change, but not its width. Thus, c is the correct answer. Best of luck to you on the exam!

Going through the Question..I thought C is the right answer.
In the BorderLayout The Height is Constraint in Noth and South. And Width is Constraint in East and West. so u cann't change the size horizontally for the Components added to East and West. So the answer is right.
U can try the following Program to get a clear Idea:
import java.awt.*;
class TestSize extends Frame
{
TestFlow()
{

add(new Button("One"),"East");
pack();
show();
}
public static void main(String s[])
{ new TestSize();}
}
All the best for the Exam...
