Step1: Analyze integer literal in Java

In Java, an integer literal starting with 0 is considered an octal (base - 8) number. But 09 is invalid because in octal, digits can only be from 0 to 7. So the code has a syntax error.

Answer:

C. The program has a syntax error, because 09 is an incorrect literal value.
