Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a property is marked as ReadOnly, it means that the application will only be able to retrieve the value of that property but will not be able to change it. Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because there will be no Set block of code for the ReadOnly property. Option B is also incorrect because the Discount class will assign the appropriate discount, not the application. Option D is incorrect because it contradicts the ReadOnly property.
