For enums in C++, compared to C, what difference is highlighted in the text?

  1. Auto conversion to int

  2. Size

  3. Type safety

  4. Initialization

The correct answer is: Type safety

When compared to C, enums in C++ provide type safety. This means that enums in C++ allow for better enforcement of using the correct type, preventing unexpected or unwanted behavior. It also makes code easier to read and understand, as it clearly defines the intended use of the enum. The other options, auto conversion to int, size, and initialization, are not highlighted in the text and are therefore incorrect. Auto conversion to int may occur with enums in C++, but it is not the main difference highlighted in the text. Size and initialization are not mentioned at all in the text, making them incorrect options.
