Super Inside the Static

[Micheal John]

FROM web page

Which of the following statements is not true? 
 
a.  A static method is also known as a class method. 
b.  A class method is not associated with a particular instance of the class. 
c.  The keyword, this, can not be used inside the body of a static method. 
d.  The keyword, super, may be used in the body of a static method. 
e.  A method that is not static is known as an instance method. 
f.  None of the above. 
 

Whether super can be used inside the static methos?

Anserr given in the site:
[/CODE]
The keyword, this, refers to the instance on which the method has been invoked. A static method--also known as a class method-- is not invoked on a particular instance of an object, but is instead invoked on the class. Since a static method is not associated with a particular instance, an attempt to use the keyword, this, within the body of a static method results in a Compile-time error. Similarly, the keyword, super, can not be used within the body of a static method.

No you can not use super in a static context.

just to prove this point , try the following code ::

class base {
static void f1(){
System.out.print("base");
}
}
class test extends base {
static void f2(){
------>super.f1();
System.out.print("base");
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
test.f2();
}
}

the compiler would complain "non-static variable super can not be referenced from a static context"

static methods cann't be overriden. Then how can we use super keyword. Therefore the option static methods may use super keyword is not true. Am I correct ?
