E and F are correct. E and F both cause both threads to lock on the same object, which willprevent the threads from running simultaneously, and guarantee XXYY or YYXX. It's a bitunusual to lock on an object like System.out, but it's perfectly legal, and both threads are lockingon the same object. A can't guarantee anything since it has no synchronization. B and D both synchronize on aninstance of the Letters class—but since there are two different instances in the main() method,the two threads do not block each other and may run simultaneously, resulting in output likeXYXY. C won't compile because it tries to override run() with a static method, and also calls anon-static method from a static method. G won't compile because System.out.class isnonsense. A class literal must start with a class name. System.out is a field not a class, soSystem.out.class is not a valid class literal.
