Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subclass Auto is overriding the setVehicleAttributes() method of the superclass Vehicle. This is because it has the same method signature (name and parameters) as the superclass method and is providing its own implementation for the method. Option A is incorrect because shadowing occurs when the subclass has a method with the same name as the superclass method, but with a different method signature. Option B is incorrect because overloading occurs when a class has multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Option D is incorrect because there is no syntax error in the code.
