Question

(b) Deriving a derived class from base class

(c) Deriving a derived class from more than one base class

(d) Deriving a derived base class

I had been asked this question in a national level competition.

Origin of the question is Multiple Inheritance in section Class Hierarchies, Library & Containers of C++

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Deriving a derived class from more than one base class

To explain I would say: Multiple inheritance enables a derived class to inherit members from more than one parent.
