What happens if you pass a void pointer to delete?

  1. Destructor is called

  2. Object is not correctly deleted

  3. Memory leak occurs

  4. Constructor is called

The correct answer is: Memory leak occurs

If a void pointer is passed to delete, it will cause a memory leak because delete does not know how much memory to deallocate for the object it points to. This can lead to memory fragmentation and other issues, since the memory will not be reclaimed properly. Passing a void pointer to delete can also cause undefined behavior, as there is no valid object to be deleted.
