Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polymorphism is achieved through overriding methods in subclass that were already defined in its superclass. This allows for the same method name to behave differently depending on the object that is calling it. Overloading (A) is not necessary for polymorphism and can be achieved without it. Embedding (C), abstraction (D), and encapsulation (E) are all important concepts in object-oriented programming but do not directly relate to achieving polymorphism.
