Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An object of a derived class has the type of every one of its ancestor classes. An ancestor class is a class from which another class (a derived class) is derived. Therefore, choice C (ancestor) is the correct answer. Option A (descendant) is not correct because it refers to a class that is derived from another class. Option B (child) is not specific enough and could refer to any class that is derived from another class. Option D (sub) is not a commonly used term in inheritance relationships in programming.
