Interface implement

[Angela Xia]

Hi all,
Here is the question, and I have the question on its answer.
Given the following definition, which deficitions are valid?
interface I{
void setValue(int val);
int getValue();
}
Select all valid answers.
A) class A extends I{
int value;
void setValue(int val){value=val;}
int getValue(){ return value;}
}
B) interface B extend I{
void increment();}
C) abstract class C implements I {
int getValue(){ return 0;}
abstract void increment();}
D) interface D implements I{
void increment();}
E) class E implements I{
int value;
public void setValue(int val){ value=val;}
}
the right answer is b.
Although I know classes can not extend interface and they must implement them. interface can extend other interface. So the answer A & D are wrong. How to explain choice C and E? why they are wrong?
Thanks

Well, Class E says it implements interface I, but then it lies!!!

class E implements I
{
   int value;
   public void setValue(int val){ value=val;}
}

Since E says it is going to implement I, it needs to provide implementations for ALL of I's member functions. I contains TWO methods, getValue() and setValue(), but here E is only implementing setValue(). Where is getValue()? Since E doesn't implement it, it should decalare that is an abstract class:
abstract class E implements I...
Item C is a little more sneaky. JLS 9.1.4 states:

All interface members are implicitly public.

So when class C implements getValue()...

abstract class C implements I 
{
   int getValue(){ return 0;}
   abstract void increment();
}

It is trying to implement getValue() with weaker access priviledges (default access VS public access) so this is a compiler error.
