I have been asked this question in an online quiz.

The origin of the question is Assigning Objects in chapter Assigning Object, Pointer to Objects, Passing and Returning Object of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) Changes its use, when used at declaration and in normal assignment

Easiest explanation - The assignment operator if used at declaration then it uses copy constructor for the copying of objects. If used in simple assignment syntax then it uses copy assignment function.
