I had been asked this question during an internship interview.

This interesting question is from Static Member Functions topic in portion Exception Handling & Static Class Members of Object Oriented Programming

The correct choice is (a) Can be called using class name

For explanation: The static members can be accessed using class name also. This is because the static members remain common to all the objects. Hence objects are not required.
