Option D is a correct answer. But it says "The DesertTortoise interface does not compile."
It should be fixed to "The DesertTortoise CLASS does not compile."

There are more mistakes with this question.
1. Turtoise is also a class not an interface
2. As Turtoise and DesertTurtoise are classes and not interfaces, option E is also correct.

1) True. Luckily that doesn't change the answer.
2) So it does. I'll make sure we get that fixed in the Java 17 book
 
Story like this gets better after being told a few times. Or maybe it's just a tiny ad:
