(a) Data which is allocated for each object separately

(b) Data which is common to all the objects of a class

(c) Data which is common to all the classes

(d) Data which is common to a specific method

The question was posed to me at a job interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Static Data Members in chapter Exception Handling & Static Class Members of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Data which is common to all the objects of a class

Best explanation: The static data members are made common to all the object of a class. They doesn’t change from object to object. Those are property of class rather than of any individual object.
