Question

(b) A class inheriting a base class

The question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) A class inheriting a base class

Easiest explanation - A class inheriting a base class defines single level inheritance. Inheriting an already derived class makes it multilevel inheritance. And if base class is inherited by 2 other classes, it is multiple inheritance.
