What programming construct is suggested as inefficient because it often introduces new errors?

Operator overloading
Copying source code and modifying by hand
Using inheritance for source code reuse
Dynamic memory allocation

The correct answer is: Copying source code and modifying by hand

Copying source code and modifying by hand is suggested as inefficient because it involves manually copying and editing code, which can lead to new errors being introduced. This approach is prone to human error and can become time-consuming and complicated as the codebase grows. The other options, operator overloading, using inheritance for source code reuse, and dynamic memory allocation, are all legitimate programming constructs that serve different purposes and have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, they are not generally suggested as inefficient or error-prone.
