Applet Class Question

[Anonymous]

IBM's Certification exam tool has stumped me on the following. (Unless their answer is an error). Please post any alternative answers.
First, here is what I think. I believe only answer "C" is correct, because:
A)Applet doesn't implement the ContainerListener interface (no componentAdded() or componentRemoved() methods)
B) Applet extends from Panel, not Frame
C) Applet extends indirectly from Component; Container extends directly from Component, Panel extends from Container, and Applet extends directly from Panel.
D) Applet doesn't impelement the Runnable interface since it ain't got no run()
E) none of the above is wrong since (I think!) C is correct.
Now that you know what I think, here is the question:
-----------------------------------------------------
Applets implement behavior in the container class because Applets:
MULTIPLE CHOICE
[] (A) Implement the ContainerListener interface
[] (B) Extend the Frame class
[] (C) Indirectly extend the Component class
[] (D) Implement the Runnable interface
[] (E) None of the above

To tell you the truth I don't understand the question myself but if I had to guess (!?) none of the above but it is too ambiguous, especially the phrase "implement behavior". I saw it too in the IBM mock exam if I am not mistaken... Sorry!

Thanks for the post, Tony. There is some consolation knowing you don't get it either. (p.s. It was from IBM's mock exam)

I'd say it's definitely E. The probelm with C is that while the statement is true by itself, it has nothing at all to do with the statement "Applets implement behavior in the container class because Applets...". Indirectly extending the Component class does not explain anything. Lots of classes extend Component without behaving like containers. The reason Applets behave like Containers is that they indirectly extend the Container class (via Panel). But none of the answers mention this, so E is the only option.
