Which statement is true about a static nested class?

Correct Answer: It does not have access to nonstatic members of the enclosing class.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because a static nested class is not tied to an instance of the enclosing class, and thus can't access the nonstatic members of the class (just as a static method can't access nonstatic members of a class).


Option A is incorrect because static nested classes do not need (and can't use) a reference to an instance of the enclosing class.


Option C is incorrect because static nested classes can declare and define nonstatic members.


Option D is wrong because it just is. There's no rule that says an inner or nested class has to extend anything.
