Explanation

Option E works because Java's wildcard import (.*) covers only the exact package named - not its subpackages. import sales.* brings in SalesMan (from sales), and import sales.products.* separately brings in Product (from sales.products), satisfying both field declarations.

Why the distractors fail:

A - import sales.* only imports the sales package; sales.products is a distinct package and must be imported separately, leaving Product unresolved.
B - There is no java.sales.products package; java is reserved for the JDK standard library, not user-defined packages.
C - import sales; and import sales.products; are illegal syntax; you must import either a fully-qualified class name or use .* - you cannot import a bare package name.
D - import products.* refers to a nonexistent top-level products package; the correct fully-qualified package path is sales.products.

Memory tip: Think of Java packages like nested folders - a * import only sweeps one folder, never its subfolders. Whenever a class lives in a subpackage, you need a second, explicit import for that subpackage.
