Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When we plug in a type for the type parameter of a generic class, we create an instance of that class with the specified type. This process is known as instantiation. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Instantiate. Inheriting is a concept related to class hierarchy, while encapsulation refers to the hiding of implementation details in a class. Neither of these concepts is directly related to the idea of creating a new class from a generic one through type parameters.
