This question is a real brain-teaser! I bet the developers who wrote this code had a good laugh when they came up with it.

Oh, I get it now! The 'equals' method is comparing the 'name' attribute, not the 'id' attribute. So the program will print 'true' since the books have the same name.

I'm not sure about this one. The 'equals' method seems to be implemented correctly, but I might be missing something. I'll have to think about it a bit more.

I think the answer is B. The 'equals' method is implemented correctly, and since the 'id' values are different, the method will return 'false'.

The program should print 'false' because the 'equals' method compares the 'name' attribute, not the 'id' attribute. Even though the books have the same name, they are different objects.
