What fundamental programming feature does a container class provide?

  1. Type safety

  2. Data encapsulation

  3. Storage for objects

  4. Concurrency support

The correct answer is: Storage for objects

A container class is a programming structure that provides storage for a group of objects, allowing them to be stored, retrieved and modified as needed. It is an essential feature for working with data structures and managing large amounts of data in a program. Type safety (A) relates to ensuring data types are compatible in the code, and although important, it is not the primary function of a container class. Data encapsulation (B) is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming, but it is not the main purpose of a container class. Concurrency support (D) refers to managing multiple tasks simultaneously, which is not the primary function of a container class either. Therefore, the most relevant and correct option is C, storage for objects.
