Why there isn't a dynamic binding in the method arguments in Java?

I am wondering why there isn't a dynamic binding in Java in method arguments? Example:

static class C {
   public static void test(C c) {
      System.out.println("C");
    }
}

static class D extends C {
   public static void test(D d) {
      System.out.println("D");
    }       
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
        C c = new D();
        D d = new D();
        test(c);

It has to be anyway determined, whether variable c contains the instance of class C or the instance of its subclass, so why can't it be done dynamically?
