In C++, subscript numbering begins with zero by default for arrays. This means that the first element in an array is accessed using index 0, the second element with index 1, and so on. This is different from some other programming languages, where subscript numbering starts with 1. The other options are incorrect because the programmer cannot set the subscript numbering at runtime and it does not vary from program to program. It is possible for a programmer to begin subscript numbering with a value other than zero, but this is not the default behavior in C++.
