What happens if a superclass is not serializable but its subclass is, and we serialize an object of the subclass?

  • Only the subclass fields will be serialized.
  • Serialization will fail.
  • Serialization will proceed without errors.
  • The superclass fields will be serialized, but not the subclass fields.
If a superclass is not serializable but its subclass is, attempting to serialize an object of the subclass will result in a java.io.NotSerializableException. This happens because the superclass needs to be serializable for the serialization process to work correctly. The other options are incorrect, as they imply successful serialization without issues.
