Static binding, also known as early binding, occurs when the binding of a function call to its definition happens at compile-time. In this scenario, the compiler binds a member function call to the version of the function that resides in the same class as the call itself. This is considered static binding.  Local binding refers to the binding of a variable or function that has a local scope limited to a particular block or function, and does not apply to member functions in a class. Safe binding or type-safe binding ensures that the code is safe and does not lead to undefined behavior or memory leaks. Dynamic binding, also known as late binding, occurs during runtime, after the program starts executing, and is used in polymorphism, with a pointer or reference to a base class being bound to a derived class.  Therefore, the best choice is C) static.
