What describes the 'is-a' relationship in C++?

Association
Composition
Inheritance
Linkage

The correct answer is: Inheritance

The 'is-a' relationship in C++ refers to the relationship between a base and derived class where the derived class inherits data and behavior from the base class. This allows the derived class to use and extend the functionality of the base class. Association (option A) is a relationship where two classes are connected, but one does not inherit from the other. Composition (option B) is a relationship where one class contains an instance of another class. Linkage (option D) refers to how different parts of a program connect and interact with each other, and is not related to the 'is-a' relationship. Therefore, C is the correct answer because it describes the specific type of relationship in C++.
