Marks: +1, -0

Given:

1. public class Person {
2.   private String name;
3.   public Person(String name) { this.name = name; }
4.   public boolean equals(Person p) {
5.    return p.name.equals(this.name);
6.   }
7. }

Which statement is true?

The equals method does NOT properly override the Object.equals method
Compilation fails because the private attribute p.name cannot be accessed in line 5.
To work correctly with hash-based data structures, this class must also implement the hashCode method
When adding Person objects to a java.util.Set collection, the equals method in line 4 will prevent duplicates
