What would be the result after the following code is executed?
int[ ] x = {23, 55, 83, 19};
Int[ ] y = {36, 78, 12, 24};
X = y;
Y = x;
A) x[ ] = {36, 78, 12, 24} and y[ ] = {23, 55, 83, 19}
B) x[ ] = {36, 78, 12, 24} and y[ ] = {36, 78, 12, 24}
C) x[ ] = {23, 55, 83, 19} and y[ ] = {23, 55, 83, 19}
D) Nothing. This is a compile error.

After executing the code, both x and y point to the same array {36, 78, 12, 24} because x is first assigned the reference of y, and then y is assigned the reference of x (which now points to y's original array).
