Inquisition [0.14]- Exam Question - Requried Correct Answer. - overriding in static members.

[kaushik vira]

class sup
{
   static void method(){System.out.println("Super");} // 1
}

class test extends sup
{
   public static void main(String args[]) {}
   static void method(){System.out.println("test");}
}
    

What class modifier(s) can be inserted at line 1 to prevent method() from being overridden (hidden ) without causing compile time errors ?

options are:-

transient

private

default

protected

hiding cannot be prevented

final

As per me there is no overriding in picture, as method is static.. so Answer should be hiding cannot be prevented. but simulator ans is Private
Can any buddy explain.. how??/

[Venkata Saraswathi]

I hope you can use private. Because private methods has class scope.

[Alexander Danilou]

All I can add that private final is also going to be correct combination to add on line 1. It is not clear from the answer if we should chose one or several. To me this question is also unclear...
