(c) Destructors are preceded with a tilde (~) symbol, and constructor doesn’t

(d) Destructors are same as constructors in syntax

I had been asked this question during an online interview.

The origin of the question is Destructors topic in chapter Constructors and Destructors of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Destructors are preceded with a tilde (~) symbol, and constructor doesn’t

The best explanation: The destructors are preceded with the tilde (~) symbol. The name is same as that of the class. These also doesn’t have any return type.
