Discussion
Consider what happens when a subclass adds a field and compares it in equals. Which statement is correct?
Answer: B
A superclass instance compared with a subclass instance can return true while the reverse returns false, because each object applies its own equals. That asymmetry is why equals is hard to extend, and why favouring composition, or a getClass check instead of instanceof, is often recommended.
