In the given example, how is polymorphism primarily achieved?

  1. Through the use of abstract classes

  2. By employing virtual functions in the base class

  3. Utilizing function overloading within derived classes

  4. Implementing template classes

The correct answer is: By employing virtual functions in the base class

Polymorphism is the concept of having multiple forms or behaviors. In object-oriented programming, this is achieved through the use of inheritance and dynamic binding. The main goal of polymorphism is to be able to use the same code for different types of objects. Option A, abstract classes, do contribute to polymorphism as they can be used as the base for creating different derived classes with different implementations. However, it is not the primary way of achieving polymorphism. Option C, function overloading in derived classes, allows for multiple functions with the same name to perform different tasks based on the type of object they are called on, but again, it is not the primary way of achieving polymorphism. Option D, template classes, are a way to create generic code that can be used for different data types, but they are not directly related to polymorphism. The most direct and common way to achieve polym
