Java quiz. What will happen if you attempt to compile and run

What will happen if you attempt to compile and run this code:

class Mountain {
  static String name = "Himalaya";
  static Mountain getMountain() {
    System.out.println("Getting Name ");
    return null;
  }
  public static void main(String[ ] args) {
    System.out.println( getMountain().name );
  }
}

It will print «Himalaya», but WON'T print «Getting Name».
It will print «Getting Name», and «Himalaya».
There will be no output.
A NullPointerException will be thrown.
It will print «Getting Name», and then throw a NullPointerException.

Explanation

The compiler replaces the name of the object with the name of the class for all static fields and methods, so at runtime it makes no difference whether the reference was null or not.
That means mountain.name becomes Mountain.name.
