Assertion Question...explain this please

[Supriya Nimakuri]

Why is Line 20 gives an error and why not 18.???

11. public class Test {
12. public void foo() {
13. assert false;
14. assert false;
15. }
16. public void bar(){
17. while(true){
18. assert false;
19. }
20. assert false;
21. }
22. }
What causes compilation to fail?

A. Line 13
B. Line 14
C. Line 18
D. Line 20

while(true) will make it to run for infinite times. So line 20 is unreachable.
