Question: Which of the following is _not_ a consequence of declaring the member variable count of my_class as static?

1. The variable cannot be modified by any part of the code in the same application or thread. However, other threads may modify it.
2. The variable exists even when no objects of the class have been defined so it can be modified at any point in the source code.
3. The variable is allocated only once, regardless of how many objects are instantiated because it is bound to the class itself, not its instances.
4. All objects that try to access their count member variable actually refer to the only class-bound static count variable.

Answer: The correct answer of the above question is Option A:The variable cannot be modified by any part of the code in the same application or thread. However, other threads may modify it.
