Which method must be defined by a class implementing the java.lang.Runnable interface?

void run()
public void run()
public void start()
void run(int priority)

Correct Answer: public void run()

Explanation:

Option B is correct because in an interface all methods are abstract by default therefore they must be overridden by the implementing class. The Runnable interface only contains 1 method, the void run() method therefore it must be implemented.

Option A and D are incorrect because they are narrowing the access privileges i.e. package(default) access is narrower than public access.

Option C is not method in the Runnable interface therefore it is incorrect.
