}
}

A.	Prints "Inside Thread Inside Thread"	B.	Prints "Inside Thread Inside Runnable"
C.	Does not compile	D.	Throws exception at runtime

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Prints "Inside Thread Inside Thread"

Explanation:
If a Runnable object is passed to the Thread constructor, then the run method of the Thread class will invoke the run method of the Runnable object.
In this case, however, the run method in the Thread class is overridden by the run method in MyThread class. Therefore the run() method in MyRunnable is never invoked.
Both times, the run() method in MyThread is invoked instead.
