What will be the output of the following program code?
public class Test implements Runnable{
        public static void main(String[] args){
                Thread t = new Thread(this);
                t.start();
        }

        public void run(){
                System.out.println("test");
        }
}

A. The program does not compile because this cannot be referenced in a static method.

B. The program compiles fine, but it does not print anything because t does not invoke the run() method

C. The program compiles and runs fine and displays test on the console.
