I didn't understood the explanation clearly. What difference does it make for variable scoping if the variable is final or not.

Why criteria variable is accessible and count is not?

This is already explained in the explanation -

Also, only final local variables of the method are accessible to the inner class defined in that method so option 4 is not correct.

criteria is accessible because it is final.

HTH,

In the explanation for criteria [answer c) ], the word 'variable' is spelled incorrectly.

Fixed.
thank you for your feedback!
