String Objects count

[Nimit Shah]

See the following code.


11. public String makinStrings() {
12. String s = "Fred";
13. s = s + "47";
14. s = s.substring(2, 5);
15. s = s.toUpperCase();
16. return s.toString();
17. }
How many String objects will be created when this method is invoked?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
E. 5
F. 6
Answer: C

I thought that the answer would be E i.e. 5 String objects created.

Can anybody please explain me how comw the answer is C?
