How can you access a public static class member?

Using the dot or arrow syntax with an instance or the class name and scope resolution operator

A static class member can be accessed through dot or arrow syntax with either an instance or the class name followed by the scope resolution operator. This means that option A is the correct answer. Option B refers to a static keyword before the function call, but this is not necessary for accessing a static member. Option C refers to creating a special static object, which is not necessary to access a static class member. Option D states that you cannot access static members directly, but this is not true as they can be accessed through the methods described in option A.
