Hi,
I think only c is correct.
A. It will be garbage collected.
A Object might or it might not be GC
B. Its finalize() method will be invoked.
A object is GC in two steps, first its finalize method is invoked and in the next GC turn it is garbage collected. but if the GC does not run at all, then its finalize method is not called, so its false

C. It can become reachable again.
This is true
D. It has a null value.
This is false
Thanks
