Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information hiding is a mechanism in object-oriented programming that involves hiding the implementation details of a class from users of that class. This means that the data within that class can only be accessed and manipulated through methods that are explicitly defined in the class, therefore giving the programmer complete control over how the data is altered. The other options, virtual method calls, polymorphism, and inlining, do not necessarily provide the same level of control over data manipulation.
