// creates an anonymous class which implements the interface ActionListener, and passes as an argument to the addActionListener() method
myButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
.......
});

Inner class cannot have non-final static variables. (but some rule applies again for final static variables)
* Inner class can have final static variables.
static final int i = 10;
static final String s = "hello";
* But the following is wrong ( the static final variable cannot be initialized using an expression. "new" in the following code)
static final String s = new String("hello");
static final Integer ii = new Integer("12");
static String ss = "testing"; // not final
(Please Refer the inner class specs)
Please let me know if am wrong ..

Answer a is correct because,
static {
SIZE = 10;
MIN_VALUE = 10.3f;
}
is a static variable initializer block. This block gets executed when the class is loaded.
----------------
The following block initializes the instance variables when the instance is created. ( so,u cannot use this block to initialize a static final variable)
{
SIZE = 10;
MIN_VALUE = 10.3f;
}
