public void foo boolean a b if system out println a..., Control Structure, Java

Question:public void foo( boolean a, boolean b)
{ 
    if( a ) 
    {
        System.out.println("A"); /* Line 5 */
    } 
    else if(a && b) /* Line 7 */
    { 
        System.out.println( "A && B"); 
    } 
    else /* Line 11 */
    { 
        if ( !b ) 
        {
            System.out.println( "notB") ;
        } 
        else 
        {
            System.out.println( "ELSE" ) ; 
        } 
    } 
}

A If a is true and b is true then the output is "A && B" 
B If a is true and b is false then the output is "notB" 
C If a is false and b is true then the output is "ELSE" 
D If a is false and b is false then the output is "ELSE"

+ AnswerC

+ ExplanationOption C is correct. The output is "ELSE". Only when a is false do the output lines after 11 get some chance of executing.
Option A is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed. The condition at line 7 will never be evaluated (when a is true it will always be trapped by the line 12 condition) therefore the output will never be "A && B". 
Option B is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed. 
Option D is wrong. The output is "notB".

Question:public void foo( boolean a, boolean b) { if( a ) { System.out.println("A"); /* Line 5 */ } else if(a && b) /* Line 7 */ { System.out.println( "A && B"); } else /* Line 11 */ { if ( !b ) { System.out.println( "notB") ; } else { System.out.println( "ELSE" ) ; } } }

A If a is true and b is true then the output is "A && B"

B If a is true and b is false then the output is "notB"

C If a is false and b is true then the output is "ELSE"

D If a is false and b is false then the output is "ELSE"
