What key feature does C++ offer for source code reuse that differs from C or Smalltalk?

  1. Dynamic memory allocation

  2. Inheritance

  3. Templates

  4. Object-based hierarchy

The correct answer is: Templates

C++ offers Templates as a key feature for source code reuse that is not available in C or Smalltalk. This is because Templates allow for generic programming, which allows the same code to be used with different data types. This is different from C and Smalltalk, which do not have the concept of Templates and require separate functions or classes to be written for each data type. Inheritance and Object-based hierarchy are also features that contribute to source code reuse in C++, but they are not unique to C++ and can also be found in C and Smalltalk. Dynamic memory allocation, while important for efficient memory management, does not directly contribute to source code reuse.
