after line 11, nobody referencing to s1, thus makes s1 gc eligible. Even though s2 is null, it is not eligible for gc, because s3 still pointing to it. S3 is not eligible for gc because s1 is pointing to it. Only object that nobody pointing to is S1. After line 11 only one object is eligible for GC = S1.

No. s1, s2, s3 are just variable that has Object's reference value(=address value). they are not Object. you said "nobody referencing to s1". that's incorrect. -> "Nobody is referencing the object that s1 initially had." is correct.

tested, 2 objects are still referenced. public static void main(String[] args) { Object w1 = new Object(); Object w2 = new Object(); Object w3 = new Object(); w1 = w3; w3 = w2; w2 = null; System.out.println(w1); System.out.println(w2); System.out.println(w3); }

Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is the letter A, the reason is that the 3 variables are local variables, so their scope is inside the main method, after line 11 it leaves the main method and the 3 variables lose their usability because they leave their scope , so all 3 are eligible to enter the Garbage collector.
