Explanation

Option A is correct because when you run java Myclass My Car Is Red, the JVM populates the args array starting at index 0 with the arguments after the class name: args[0]="My", args[1]="Car", args[2]="Is", args[3]="Red". The print statement outputs args[1], then args[3], then args[0] - giving Car--Red--My (the hyphens in option A represent the "--" separator).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (My-Car-is) follows the order [0][1][2], ignoring that the code skips index 2 entirely.
• C (My-Car-Red) follows the order [0][1][3], but the code clearly starts with arg[1], not arg[0].
• D is a nonsense distractor - "Java" and "Isis" don't appear anywhere in the argument list.
• E confuses the class name Myclass with a command-line argument; the class name is never stored in args[].

Memory tip: Think of args[] as a 0-indexed list of everything you type after the class name. "Java" and the class name (Myclass) are never in the array - only the words that follow it are. When you see a print that mixes index order (e.g., [1], [3], [0]), mentally replace each index with its word before choosing an answer.

Note: The code as written uses arg (no s), which would cause a compile error. This is almost certainly a typo in the question; the intended variable is args.
