What does the declaration 'struct X;' represent in C++?

  1. A complete definition of a structure

  2. An incomplete type specification

  3. Initialization of an X structure

  4. Declaration of an X object

The correct answer is: An incomplete type specification

This declaration represents an incomplete type specification. This means that the structure named X is declared but it does not contain any data members or member functions.In option A, declaring a complete definition would require specifying the data members and functions within the structure. Option C and D are incorrect because neither initialization of a structure nor declaration of an object is accomplished by writing 'struct X;'.
