You will have food items (hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches) and drink items (Coke, sprite, root beer). The drinks come in various sizes given in ounces (for example: 12, 24, 48).

Which of the following would be the best choice for the design of this system? Why? a. The design should include the following classes: Hamburger, HotDog, Chicken, Coke, Sprite, and RootBeer. b. The design should include the following classes: FoodItem with Hamburger, HotDog, and Chicken extending FoodItem and DtrinkItem with Coke, Sprite, and RootBeer extending DrinkItem. c. The design should include the following classes: Item with FoodItem and DrinkItem extending Item: Hamburger, HotDog, and Checken extending FoodItem; and DrinkItem with Coke, sprite, and RootBeer extending DrinkItem. d.

A deluxe value meal costs $0.50 more than a value meal and includes apple pie for dessert. Which of

option (c) is correct answer since here maintaining common property as name in Item class and then extending foodItem and DrinkItem to separate them.

option (d) is not correct since again same explanation. missing common property.

option (e) keeping all items as instances will reduce flexibility to create and use them.

   FoodItem (String name,double price,int size){
       super(name,price);
       this.size = size;
   }
}
