[Java] Can we create an instance of a static class?

Question

^
Can we create an instance of a static class?
I read that all top-level classes are, by definition, static.
And inner static classes can be instantiated, without an living instance from the top-level class. But inner non-static classes cannot be created without an instance from the top-level class.

There was a challenge question:
Objects or instances of the following cannot be created.
[X] Abstract class
[] final class
[X] Interface
[X] Static class

I am wrong or is this challenge question wrong?
