The above example only one line will through a run time exception. When you initialize super class with the instance of sub class it's call polymorphism. So you can do
A a = new B(); or
A a = new C();

B b = new A() - is a compilation error because you cant instantiate super class as instance of sub class.

B b=(b)a1; - This will give you ClassCastException because you are trying to cast an instance of C into Class B.

1. a.donothing(); //which type of error
compile time error.
The static type of a is A() and it cannot call a method from the sub-class.

2. B b=new A();
compile time error.

3. A a1=new C();
This is fine

4. B b=(b)a1;
run time error.
Class cast exception
