Answer
Answer
AICorrect option: (b)
Answer: (b) Only I and III
I is true: totalStu is incremented inside the constructor every time a Student object is created, so it keeps count of all objects created.
II is false: totalStu is declared static, so it is shared by all objects of the class — there is only one copy, not a separate copy per object.
III is true: a static member can be accessed directly through the class name, i.e. Student.totalStu.
