final method in java [closed]

Question

I got the question in an interview, can final method override....?

I said YES. Interviewer has got strange gesture. What is wrong with it? Grammatically it is correct answer, I guess. final methods can override, but final method cannot be overridden.
Was my answer correct?

I found some people are interested to reopen this question.
