My question is taken from Types of Inheritance in division Inheritance & its Types of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) More than one class being parent of single child

Explanation: If a class inherits more than one class, it is known as multiple inheritance. This should not be referred with only two or three classes being inherited. But there must be one class which inherits more than one class to be called as multiple inheritance.
