Abstracting the common features among multiple classes, as well as the relationships they participate in, into a more general class is known as:

C) multiplicity.
D) generalization.
E) rejuvenation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is that of generalization, which involves identifying common attributes and relationships among classes and creating a more general class to capture those characteristics. Aggregation refers to a specific type of relationship between classes, overlapping is not a term commonly used in this context, and multiplicity refers to the cardinality of a relationship (e.g. one-to-one, one-to-many). Rejuvenation is not a recognized term in the context of object-oriented design.
