Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Class-level static initialization blocks are executed only once when the class is loaded, before any objects are created or constructors are called. This makes option B the correct choice. Option A and D are incorrect as they both suggest that the block is executed after or before the constructor, respectively. Option C is also incorrect as the initialization block is executed only once when the class is loaded, not every time an object is used to access methods.
