False.

Please try it out to find the answer. Its always best to check it out for yourself rather than relying on Books or people.

Well, if the four abstract classes themselves formed an inheritance hierarchy -- i.e., A extends B, B extends C, C extends D, and A-D are all abstract classes, then you could extend A, this making the answer "true". Without more context, it's hard to say what the "right" answer is.
