Static methods? More like 'stay-tic' methods, am I right? *crickets* Anyway, I'm voting for A.

A method that works on class objects? That doesn't sound quite right. I'm leaning towards option A, but I wish this question had a bit more clarity.

The @method trait? What is this, a magic trick? I'm going to have to go with option A, it seems the most straightforward.

Hmm, I thought static methods didn't require any parameters. I'm not sure if option C is the right choice or not.

Hmm, maybe static methods can work on the class itself or on class objects that are instantiated.

I think the answer is A because static methods are called on the class itself, not on instances of the class.

I'm pretty sure a static method is one that works on the class itself, not the object instances. Option A looks like the correct answer to me.
