If a base class has public member functions that are not listed by a derived class, then these functions
A) are not available to the derived class
B) are inherited unchanged in the derived class
C) are private to the derived class

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a class inherits from a base class, it inherits all of its public and protected member functions. These functions can still be accessed by the derived class, even if they are not listed in the derived class's own member functions. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because the functions are still available to the derived class. Option C is incorrect because the functions are not private to the derived class. Option D is incorrect because the functions still exist in the derived class (as inherited functions).
