Fixing Package Import Error

This code tries to use a class from another package but fails. What is the cause?

Java

package com.app;

import com.utils.Helper;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Helper.help();
    }
}

// Helper.java in package com.utils
package com.utils;

public class Helper {
    public static void help() {
        System.out.println("Helping...");
    }
}

A Main class is missing import statement for com.utils.Helper

B Helper class must be declared public static

C Package names must be the same for both classes

D Main class must be in default package to access Helper
