d) if("Str ing ".trim() == "String")

Answer is c. trim() function is only performed if blankspaces are present   at the beginning or end. If not present it will return the same string. Hence the function will return true.
Bit if the string contains blankspaces, subString() is called to trim the string and return a new String using new operator.
