D) This code will not compile.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subclass Speedboat is providing its own implementation of the method setVesselAttributes, which has the same signature as the method in the superclass Vessel. This is known as method overriding, where the subclass replaces the implementation of its superclass method with its own implementation. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because shadowing refers to declaring a variable with the same name as a variable in the superclass, which is not happening here. Option B is also incorrect because overloading refers to defining a method with the same name but different parameters in the same class or subclass, and this is not happening either. Option D is incorrect because the code is syntactically correct.
