Choose the correct statement(s) from the given options.

Statement I is false because static methods can access both static and non-static members (instance members) of the class; they can access non-static members via object references or by creating temporary instances. Statement II is partially misleading because while a static class cannot have instances created (true in languages like C#), the statement conflates two concepts—not all languages enforce 'static class' syntax, and non-static members can technically exist in a static class but cannot be accessed without an instance (which is impossible). Both statements contain inaccuracies or are language-dependent.

Step-by-step Derivation:
Analyze each statement:

Statement I: 'Static methods can only access the static members of the class.'

• FALSE. Static methods can access static members directly.
• However, static methods CAN also access non-static (instance) members via object references. Example:

  class MyClass {
    int nonStaticVar = 5;  // instance member
    static int staticVar = 10;  // static member
    static void myStaticMethod() {
      System.out.println(staticVar);  // ✓ Can access static
      MyClass obj = new MyClass();
      System.out.println(obj.nonStaticVar);  // ✓ Can also access non-static via object
    }
  }
  

• Statement I is INCORRECT.

Statement II: 'Static class's object cannot be created, and it only contains static members.'

• This is language-specific and imprecise. In C#, static classes cannot be instantiated.
• However, a static class is NOT required to contain only static members—it CAN declare instance members (though they cannot be used without an object, creating a logical flaw).
• In Java, there is no 'static class' keyword; only nested classes can be static, and they still can contain instance members.
• Statement II is MISLEADING/INCORRECT.

Conclusion: Both statements are false. The correct answer is D.
