    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    The names array is initialized with five null elements. Then elements 0 and 1 are assigned the String values "a" and "b" respectively (the command-line arguments passed to main). Elements of names array 2, 3, and 4 remain unassigned, so they have a value of null.
