Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The methods and properties required to communicate with an object are defined in the interface of the object, which specifies how other objects can interact with it. Therefore, the correct choice is A, interface. B, attribute, refers to the specific values stored in an object. C, function, is a specific block of code that performs a task. D, class, is a blueprint for creating objects and defining their initial properties and behavior. While all of these concepts are related to object-oriented programming, only interface specifically refers to the methods and properties required for communication with an object.
