Question

Lets say I have a Dog class defined in my program which contains a setPet method that takes two integer parameters (age and weight). What happens if I write the following 2 lines of code:

                  Dog[] d = new Dog[10];

d[1].setPet(2,30);

A. There is a Null Pointer Exception because I did not initialize the dog object

B. Nothing because I did not initialize the dog object

C. The age of the first object in array d becomes 2 and the weight becomes 30

D. There is a syntax error and the code will not compile
