Which language, developed as an extension of the C programming language, added object-oriented features?

• A. C
• B. Java
• C. C++
• D. Basic

Answer: (C)

Object-oriented features were added by evolving C into a new language designed to support classes, objects, and related concepts. This language was developed as an extension of C to bring in inheritance, polymorphism, and templates, allowing programmers to model real-world entities and write reusable, modular code while still benefiting from C’s performance and syntax. That combination—building on C with object-oriented capabilities—makes the language the direct extension of C. Other options either refer to the original base language (C), are separate languages (Basic), or are influenced by C but not created as an extension of it (Java).
