Selenium Java - Handling Form Elements

Consider this code snippet:

WebElement checkbox = driver.findElement(By.id("agree"));
if (!checkbox.isSelected()) {
    checkbox.click();
}
System.out.println(checkbox.isSelected());

What will be printed if the checkbox was initially unchecked?

Afalse

Btrue

Cnull

DThrows exception

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check initial checkbox state
The checkbox is initially unchecked, so isSelected() returns false.
Step 2: Click checkbox if not selected
Since it is not selected, checkbox.click() runs, selecting it.
Step 3: Print final state
After clicking, isSelected() returns true, so true is printed.
Final Answer:
true -> Option B
Quick Check:
Unchecked + click = selected = true [OK]

Quick Trick: Click only if not selected to ensure checkbox is checked [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming initial state remains unchanged
Expecting false after click
Confusing isSelected() return values
