C.	Compile fail due to error on line no 8	D.	15

Answer and Explanation

Answer:Compile fail due to error on line no 9

Explanation:
Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method add(int, int) from the type A. The short s is autoboxed correctly, but the add() method cannot be invoked from a static method because add() method is not static.
