The following code segment appears in a class other than Beverage. Assume that x and y are properly declared and initialized int variables.

Beverage hotChocolate = new Beverage(x);

Beverage coffee = new Beverage(y);

boolean same = /* missing code */;

Which of the following can be used as a replacement for /* missing code */ so that the boolean variable same is set to true if and only if the hotChocolate and coffee objects have the same temperature values?

• A) (hotChocolate = coffee)

• B) (hotChocolate == coffee)

• C) hotChocolate.equals(coffee)

• D) hotChocolate.equals(coffee.getTemperature())

• E) hotChocolate.getTemperature().equals(coffee.getTemperature())
