5. }
6. }

B. x = 42
C. Compilation fails because of an error in line 2 of class Test2.
D. Compilation fails because of an error in line 3 of class Test1.
E. Compilation fails because of an error in line 4 of class Test2.
Answer: C
why not E
i think E is correct

E is correct. The code does not compile since x has default access. So it is not visible outside the package even not in a subclass. Variable x should be marked protected or public, in order the code to compile.
