new to EJB needs help

[Rajiv Ranjan]

Can someone please answer this question with a little explanation :
1. InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
2. Object o = ic.lookup("testBean/TestBean");
3. TestHome th = (TestHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o,TestHome.class);
4. String result = myTest.userMethod();
5. myTest.remove();
6. // Bean state?
Assume the application server has just been started. At the commented-marker in the client code above (Line 6), in which state is this desired bean?

a)Method-ready-tx
b)Method-ready
c)Passivated
d) It does not exist.
e) Active
Thanks

I believe the answer would be d)Does not exist. This is from the 2.0 spec:
When the client calls remove on the home or remote interface to remove the session object,
the container issues ejbRemove() on the bean instance. This ends the life of the session
bean instance and the associated session object.
