How does the compiler choose which method to call when a parameter type is ambiguous?

I have the following code:

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestFoo()
    {
        Foo(null);
    }

    private void Foo (object bar)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Foo - object");
    }

    private void Foo (string bar)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Foo - string");
    }

and when I run the test "TestFoo()", the console output is "Foo - string". How does the compiler decide which method to call?
