What approach is advised against in altering namespaces in header files?

Using using declarations
Declaring new namespaces
Using global using directives
Both A and C

The correct answer is: Both A and C

Both A and C are advised against in altering namespaces in header files. Using using declarations, which bring in a single name from a namespace, can lead to naming conflicts and confusion. Using global using directives, which bring in all names from a namespace, can also lead to conflicts and make code harder to read and maintain. Instead, it is recommended to use fully qualified names or aliases to explicitly specify the namespace for each name used in the code. Declaring new namespaces does not necessarily need to be avoided, but it should be done carefully and thoughtfully to avoid conflicts with existing namespaces.
