Answer
Exam answer
(b) String.
Explanation
Read the requirement precisely: the method must RETURN the words YES or NO. Those are text, so the return type is String. The tempting wrong answer is boolean, but boolean returns true or false, not the words YES and NO. This distinction is tested often — match the return type to what is actually returned, not to the idea of a yes/no decision.
In words
String.

Surface area of cone is A = pi * r * l, where l = sqrt(r^2 + h^2)
class area
{
double area(double r, double h)
{
double l, a;
a = 22.0 / 7 * r * l;
l = Math.sqrt(r * r + h * h);
return a;
}
