Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The code lacks braces for the if statement, so only the first `System.out.println("positive ");` is conditionally executed based on the if statement. Since `x` is not greater than 0, the "positive " line is not printed, and the execution continues sequentially, printing "zero " and "negative", resulting in "zero negative".
