How do 'default arguments' enhance function overloading?

  1. By eliminating the need for multiple function definitions

  2. By automatically generating overloaded functions

  3. By increasing execution speed

  4. By enforcing type safety

The correct answer is: By eliminating the need for multiple function definitions

By using default arguments, multiple function definitions do not need to be created. Instead, the default argument can be used to set a default value for one or more parameters in the function. This allows for more efficient and concise code, as well as removing the need for separate function definitions for different input scenarios. Additionally, default arguments do not automatically generate overloaded functions, increase execution speed, or enforce type safety, making options B, C, and D incorrect.
