Synchronization and Locks

Please help me understand why C and E are correct answers. The question is from K and B

Given:


And given these two fragments:

I. synchronized void move(long id) {
II. void move(long id) {

When either fragment I or fragment II is inserted at line 7, which are true? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Compilation fails
B. With fragment I, an exception is thrown
C. With fragment I, the output could be 4 2 4 2
D. With fragment I, the output could be 4 4 2 3
E. With fragment II, the output could be 2 4 2 4


Answer:

C and E are correct. E should be obvious. C is correct because even though move() is
synchronized, it's being invoked on two different objects.

I think code is not complete.
Where the move method is being invoked.

I think in place of

// insert code here

The method is being invoked in run()

The answer E is obvious because if move() method is not synchronized, the output could be 2,4,2,4 or 4,2,4,2 or even 2,2,4,4 or 4,4,2,2. It is not guaranteed.
Even if you synchronize the move() method, the two threads created are not locking each other because they are invoked on two different Chess objects. So the output again could be 4,2,4,2 or 2,4,2,4 or 2,2,4,4 or 4,4,2,2. So E is correct
D is definitely not possible

synchronization is for object, not for method! And here, no methods are being invoked on object, other than move(long g), so there is no 'work' to synchronization!
