Which of these was NOT mentioned as a benefit of the C++ approach to handling objects?

  1. Creating only the objects you need

  2. Reducing programmer effort

  3. Avoiding constructor and destructor overhead for unused objects

  4. Automatically managing memory without user input

The correct answer is: Automatically managing memory without user input

The reason why option D is incorrect is because it was not mentioned as a benefit of the C++ approach to handling objects. C++ does not automatically manage memory, instead the user is responsible for managing memory through the use of constructors and destructors. Option A, B, and C were all mentioned as benefits of the C++ approach to handling objects. Option A allows for efficiency by only creating necessary objects. Option B reduces the effort of the programmer by allowing for a more intuitive structure. Option C avoids unnecessary overhead from constructors and destructors for unused objects.
