Are static initializations in Java classes performed more than once?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if requested

  4. Not specified

The correct answer is: No

Java classes are only initialized once, when they are loaded for the first time. This ensures that static variables are only initialized once, regardless of how many instances of the class are created. Option B is correct because static initializations are not performed more than once. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that static initializations can occur more than once, which is not the case.
