A question about metaclass

Ruby
1

Hi!

Some code first…

class C
end

obj = C.new #<-- Question here.

My question is where the C.new method is.
The class Class or C’s singleton class?

According to PickAxe2, it seems that C.new is in Class.
However, according to Little Ruby book, it seems that C.new is in C’s
metaclass.

Which is right and how can we confirm that?

TIA.
