Solution(By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option C: 8.

In Java, the expression 3 << 2 represents a left shift operation. In this case, the binary representation of 3 is shifted two positions to the left, resulting in 8 in decimal notation.

The binary representation of 3 is 0000 0011, and after a left shift of 2 positions, it becomes 0000 1100, which is 8 in decimal.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: 8.
