Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The access specification of the base class affects the way its members are inherited by the derived class. If the access specifiers of the base class members are public, then they will be accessible in the derived class with the same level of access. If the access specifiers are private, they will not be accessible in the derived class. Protected members of the base class can be accessed in the derived class only through member functions of the derived class or its subclasses. The other options, such as name, return data type, and construction of the base class, do not affect the way its members are inherited by the derived class.
