Explanation / Answer

f) Options (b) and (c)

This question provides the concept of polymorphism and method overloading. In Java a function with same name but different function signature can be there.This is called polymorphism. In part a) same name and same function signature i.e.int x is there, So it will throw compilation error stating methods with same name. For others function signatures are different, so methods can be overloaded..
