Consider the following class definition.

public class Element { public static int max_value = 0; private int value; public Element (int v) { value = v; if (value > max_value) { max_value = value; } } }

The following code segment appears in a class other than Element.

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { int k = (int) (Math.random() * 10 + 1); if (k >= Element.max_value) { Element e = new Element(k); } }

Which of the following best describes the behavior of the code segment?

• Exactly 5 Element objects are created.

• Exactly 10 Element objects are created.

• Between 0 and 5 Element objects are created, and Element.max_value is increased only for the first object created.

• Between 1 and 5 Element objects are created, and Element.max_value is increased for every object created.

• Between 1 and 5 Element objects are created, and Element.max_value is increased for at least one object created
