What does using namespaces allow in a C++ program?

  1. Defining new variables

  2. Automatic memory management

  3. Organizing code to avoid name conflicts

  4. Speed optimization of programs

The correct answer is: Organizing code to avoid name conflicts

Using namespaces in a C++ program allows for organizing code in order to avoid any name conflicts that could arise. This is important in larger programs where multiple programmers may be working on different sections of code. This way, each section or module can be assigned to its own namespace, preventing any name conflicts with other code. Option A, defining new variables, is incorrect as namespaces do not have any direct impact on variable definitions. Option B, automatic memory management, is incorrect as namespaces are not related to managing memory in a C++ program. Option D, speed optimization of programs, is also incorrect as namespaces do not directly affect the speed of a program.
