Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) objects of built-in data type

To explain: Generally, a string is defined as a sequence of characters but it is different in C#. In c++, the string is an array of characters. In case of C#, strings are objects of the built-in string data type. Thus, a string is a reference type.
