What feature of C++ allows function overloading?

  1. Namespaces

  2. Constructors

  3. Argument lists

  4. Inline functions

The correct answer is: Argument lists

Function overloading in C++ allows developers to create multiple functions with the same name, but different argument lists. This provides more flexibility and enables developers to use descriptive and intuitive function names without worrying about name collision. Namespaces (A) are used to group a set of related classes, objects, and functions while constructors (B) are special member functions used to initialize objects of a class. Inline functions (D) are used to reduce the function call overhead and improve performance, but do not directly relate to function overloading. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is argument lists (C).
