Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In Java, when a subclass overrides a method from its superclass, the overridden method in the subclass is executed when the object is of the subclass type, even if the reference is of the superclass type. This is known as dynamic method dispatch.
In the given code, the Car class overrides the move() method from the Vehicle class. The object v is of type Car, but the reference is of type Vehicle. When v.move() is called, the move() method in the Car class is executed because the actual object is of type Car.
Therefore, the output will be: Car is moving.
