OOP questions are usually won by candidates who keep three things separate: declared type, runtime type, and interface or class member rules.

OOP-choice map

If the stem is mainly about…	Better first instinct
member access and initialization	read the declarations before following behavior
overridden instance methods	runtime dispatch decides implementation
lambda target or default methods	interface contract is likely the real issue
nested helper type	check whether it is static nested, inner, local, or anonymous

If the code shows…	Strong reading
parent reference calling child behavior	declared access and runtime dispatch both matter
interface defaults	conflict resolution or override rules may be under test
local or anonymous class	captured scope and type form matter

Trap	Better rule
assuming a parent reference changes the runtime implementation	overriding still dispatches by runtime type
treating every nested type as an inner class	enclosing-instance behavior depends on the exact form
thinking interface defaults remove the need for resolution	conflicts still need explicit handling
