What is true about the relationship between a derived class and its base class?

The derived class cannot add new methods
The derived class has a different type than the base class
The derived class can receive all messages the base class can
The derived class does not inherit properties from the base class

The correct answer is: The derived class can receive all messages the base class can

A derived class is a class that is created from an existing (or base) class. This means that it inherits all of the methods and properties of the base class. Option A is incorrect because a derived class can add new methods in addition to inheriting methods from the base class. Option B is incorrect because a derived class does not have a different type than the base class - it is a specialized version of the base class. Option D is incorrect because a derived class does inherit properties from the base class. Therefore, the correct answer is C the derived class can receive all messages (methods) from the base class.
