This intriguing question comes from Polymorphism in division OOPs Concept & Features of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) It is the ability for a message/data to be processed in more than one form

The explanation is: It is actually the ability for a message / data to be processed in more than one form. The word polymorphism indicates many-forms. So if a single entity takes more than one form, it is known as polymorphism.
