Actually my answer would be
e)none of the above.

Take a look at the valid values for scope when declaring a java bean on a page: http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/1.2/syntaxref1217.html#8865

1) Move your mouse over the link in Stefan's post.
2) When the cursor changes to the little hand, click the mouse.
3) Read.

The spec is pretty clear about what a bean's scope is.

Scope:
The scope within which the reference is available. The default value is page. See the description of the scope attribute defined earlier herein. A translation error must occur if scope is not one of "page", "request", "session" or "application".
