Answer 1

Option B the key word static after the access specifier and before the field's data type

Step-by-step explanation:

In object oriented programming context, a static field is a variable that belongs to a class instead of a specific instance of the class. This means the value of the static field can be accessed without an instance.

To create static field in Java, the keyword "static" is needed. The static keyword is placed after the access specifier and before the field's data type. For example:

static int counter = 0

We can access the static field (e.g. counter) using the syntax as follows:

className.counter
