For the questions below, use the following recursive method.
public int question1_2(int x, int y)
{
if (x == y) return 0;
else return question1_2(x-1, y) + 1;
}
-Calling this method will result in infinite recursion if which condition below is initially True?

Question

For the questions below, use the following recursive method.
 public int question1_2(int x, int y)
 {
 if (x == y) return 0;
 else return question1_2(x-1, y) + 1;
 }
-Calling this method will result in infinite recursion if which condition below is initially True?
A) (x = = y)
B) (x != y)
C) (x > y)
D) (x < y)
E) (x = = 0 && y != 0)

D) If (x < y) is True initially, then theelse clause is executed resulting in the method being recursively invoked with a value of x - 1, or a smaller value of x, so that (x < y) will be True again, and so for each successive recursive call, (x < y) will be True and the base case, x == y, will never be True.
