Answer 1

Correct option is (d) Constructors don’t have a return type

Explanation: Constructors don’t return any value. Those are special functions, whose return type is not defined, not even void. This is so because the constructors are meant to initialize the members of class and not to perform some task which can return some value to newly created object.
