What does the use of the term 'Default Arguments' refer to in C++?

Arguments automatically provided by the compiler when not specified
Standard arguments that cannot be omitted
Arguments used during template instantiation
Arguments that are constants

The correct answer is: Arguments automatically provided by the compiler when not specified

The use of the term 'Default Arguments' in C++ refers to arguments that are automatically provided by the compiler when no value is specified for them. This can save time and reduce the amount of code needed, as the programmer does not have to explicitly define these arguments every time they are called. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not fully capture the concept of default arguments in C++. Option B refers to standard arguments, which can still be omitted if specified. Option C refers to arguments used during template instantiation, which is a different concept in C++. Option D refers to constants, which may or may not be used as default arguments.
