Doubt on Threading Qs

[Rohan Kayan]

Following is the question from http://www.javacertifications.net

    
public class Test extends Thread{

    static String sName = "good";
    public static void main(String argv[]){
    	Test t = new Test();
    t.nameTest(sName);
    System.out.println(sName);
    
    }
    public void nameTest(String sName){
            sName = sName + " idea ";
             start();
    }
    public void run(){
    
    for(int i=0;i  <  4; i++){
            sName = sName + " " + i;
            
    }
    }

}

options
A)good
B)good idea
C)good idea good idea
D)good 0 good 0 1

Correct answer is : A




My doubt is that , as the time/sequence of execution of threads are dependent of the actual JVM and platform , the ans for above question could be any of these five

1. good
2. good 0
3. good 0 1
4. good 0 1 2
5. good 0 1 2 3


Am I correct in my interpretation ??

Yes, it could be any one of the
1. good
2. good 0
3. good 0 1
4. good 0 1 2
5. good 0 1 2 3
as you mentioned...

I think the A is correct because " A)good" is the only possible correct choice in all options!!
