utterly confused with getParent() method

[sriram kalakoti]

in hfsj pg550 3rd mock question the solution says C is correct which means " getParent() method can be called by a classic tag to get its parent which is a simpletag "

if the above statement is true then we can summarize the use getParent() method as follows "By using getParent() a Classic tag can access either Classic tag Parents , or Simple tag Parents and a Simple tag can access either a Classic or Simple parent.

but on page 540 it says " a classic tag can access Classic tag parents , and a simpke tag can access either a classic or simple parent.

now what i want to clarify is " can we call the getParent method in a classic tag to get the SimpleTag parent???
