Ok, here's my analysis on the questions:
Q1 - A statless bean can have instance variable state, just not client specific state. Therefore f) is correct as well as b).

Q3 - You are correct on this question, probably an error in the exam.

Q4 - I've seen this question before, and yes, you're correct. A should be a) should be one of the correct answers.

Q5 - I believe option e) should be correct as well.

Q6 - Again, your answers are correct. JTA is part of the EJB required specifications, but JXTA is not (though many vendors implement it anyway).

Q7 - a) is not correct. We can assume that passivation works LIKE serialization, but it's not mandatory that the container use serialization to passivate beans. c) is incorrect. This is a strict violation of the spec.
