What does the Smalltalk or Java approach for containers involve?

  1. Using templates

  2. Inheriting all classes from a common base class

  3. Using multiple inheritance

  4. Creating large arrays

The correct answer is: Inheriting all classes from a common base class

The Smalltalk or Java approach for containers involves inheriting all classes from a common base class. This allows all containers to have common methods and properties, making it easier for developers to work with containers and their objects. Option A is incorrect because using templates is a feature of C++, not Smalltalk or Java. Option C is incorrect because multiple inheritance is not supported in Java, and rarely used in Smalltalk. Option D is incorrect because creating large arrays is not a defining feature of containers in Smalltalk or Java.
