Assertion from witscale website

[Dan Gun]

A question from the witscale site , code:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String [] args ) {
        assert args[0] == "alphabeta" : args[0];
        System.out.println("done ");
    }
}  

The question and and choices:
Q 23. Which of the following statements will be part of the output if this
program is executed as:
$ java Test hello
(Note: Please click on 'Exhibit' button to see the code/information.)
1.hello
2.Test
3.alphabeta
4.done
5.None of the above

And the answer:
The correct answer is option 1.
The assertion will fail, therefore AssertionError occurs and arg[0] (hello) is printed on console.
I thought you'd have to enable assertion specifically to get answer number 1. Therefore the answer should be number 4 since assertion is not enabled when running this class. Any thought?
