Which C++ feature allows a class to be defined as a type of another class?

Encapsulation
Composition
Inheritance
Association

The correct answer is: Inheritance

Inheritance in C++ is a feature that allows a class to inherit the properties and behaviors of another class, known as the base class or parent class. This is done by using the "extends" keyword when declaring the derived class. Composition is a design pattern that creates an object consisting of other objects, but it does not allow a class to be defined as a type of another class. Encapsulation refers to the ability to hide the internal workings of a class from the user, so it is not related to this feature. Association refers to the relationship between two separate classes, but it does not define a class as a type of another class. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is C.
