how many objects are eligible for garbage collection?

[nweoo mon]

class C
{
public static void main(String a[])
{
C c1=new C();
C c2=m1(c1);
C c3=new C();
c2=c3; //6
anothermethod();
}
static C m1(C ob1){
ob1 =new C();
return ob1;
}
}
I think 1 objects are eligible for garbage collection, but answers is 2 objects and no explanation.
I want to know explanation, please explain...

This question was discussed a few days ago. They seem to agree with you (as do I).
