How does C++'s approach to dynamic memory allocation enhance type safety?

  1. By avoiding void* types

  2. By manually specifying object types

  3. Through automatic garbage collection

  4. By using template classes

The correct answer is: By avoiding void* types

C++'s approach to dynamic memory allocation enhances type safety by avoiding the use of void* types, which can lead to runtime errors and issues with type casting. Option B, by manually specifying object types, does not necessarily ensure type safety as human errors can occur. Option C, automatic garbage collection, is not a feature of C++ and would not prevent type safety issues. Option D, using template classes, does not directly address preventing type safety errors. Therefore, option A is the best choice for enhancing type safety in C++.
