What C++ feature provides behavior similar to but safer than enums in C?

Namespaces
Classes
Templates
Inheritance

The correct answer is: Classes

Classes in C++ provide behavior similar to enums in C but with additional safety. Namespaces (A) provide a way to group related functions, classes, and variables but are not meant for data representation. Templates (C) are used for generic programming and allow for creating types and functions that are used with various data types but are not the same as enums in C. Inheritance (D) enables code reusability and establishes a parent-child hierarchy, but is not a direct replacement for enums in C. Therefore, the most suitable answer is B, classes.
