What is multi level inheritance in Java?

Multilevel inheritance refers to a mechanism by which you can easily acquire the properties and behaviour of a class into some other classes. In multilevel inheritance, a class C can acquire the properties and behaviour of a derived class B that is derived from class A. Now the derived class B becomes the base class and the new class C becomes the derived class. When a class extends a class, which extends another class then this mechanism is called multilevel inheritance. For instance, class C extends class B and class B extends class A then this type of inheritance is known as multilevel inheritance.
