For Loop Summation Error

Question

The following code segment is intended to compute the sum of the integers from 1 to 10. However, it fails to produce the correct result due to a logical error. Which statement best explains this error?

```java
public class SumError {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int sum = 0;
        for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) {
            sum += i;
        }
        System.out.println("Sum: " + sum);
    }
}
```

Accepted Answer

The loop's termination condition 'i < 10' mistakenly excludes the number 10, resulting in an incorrect sum.

Answer

The loop should be a while loop instead of a for loop to correctly accumulate the sum.

Answer

The print statement is incorrectly placed, causing the sum to be printed multiple times.

Answer

The variable 'sum' should be initialized to 1 instead of 0.
