Which of the following statements is true?
a) An interface can contain a nested top-level inner class.
b) An interface can contain a member inner class.
c) A member inner class can implement an interface.
d) A static method can contain a local class.
e) A static method can contain a nested top-level class.

Thx in Advance.

All are true !!!
Correct me if I am wrong.

>>e) A static method can contain a nested top-level class.
a method can only contain local or anonymous class

Also-
b) An interface can contain a member inner class.
No, an interface can only contain a static member class, formerly known as a top-level nested class (which is probably what answer a) was trying to refer to). All classes defined in an interface are implicitly static and public.

Since Rahul and I explained what's wrong with e and b, the remaining answers are correct:
a, c, d

Hi,
I don't agree your point. Although a member inner class within an interface is implicitly public and static, but in forms it is a member, how could we call this form of inner class.
For example:
public interface A {
class inner { }
}
There is a problem of nature language, but not Java language.
