I don't know, maybe the developer could just use a magic spell to make the constant value unalterable. Something like 'Constantius Fixius' should do the trick!

I'll have to go with option A. It's the simplest declaration and still ensures the value won't change, right? Wait, why is that not the correct answer? *scratches head*

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between options B and C. Both seem to meet the criteria, but I'm leaning towards C since it's more commonly used in Java.

I agree, 'final' is commonly used for constants in Java to prevent them from being modified.

I think option C is the correct choice. It uses 'final' to ensure the value doesn't change.

I think the correct answer is C) static final decimal DELIVERY_MULTIPLIER = 4.15; because we want the value to be constant and not change.
