Garbage collection

[mrudul joshi]

This is the code I came across while seeing earlier posts regarding garbage collection in javaranch forums.

 
 class Riddle { 
public static void main(String[] args) { 
String first, second; 
String riddle; 
if (args.length < 2) 
return; a: first = new String(args[0]); 
b: second = new String(args[1]); 
c: riddle = "When is a " + first; 
d: first = null; 
e: riddle += " like a " + second + "?"; 
f: second = null; 
g: System.out.println(riddle); 
h: args[0] = null; 
i: args[1] = null; 
j: 
}
} 

Select the one right answer.
1)d:
2)e:
3)h:
4)i:
5)j:

I think the right answer is [1] that is, wfter the line d in executed.
Please clarify if I am wrong.
thanks

We have the code, the options but what is the question?
