What is a method?

Answer options

• A. It is a function built into a class that is executed on behalf of the class or an object.
• B. It is another name for a function - the only difference is that a method cannot be abstract.
• C. It is a callable variable that is specific only to objects.
• D. It is another name for a function - the only difference is that a method always returns a value.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes a method as a function associated with a class or its instances. Options B, C, and D contain inaccuracies; B incorrectly states that methods cannot be abstract, C mischaracterizes methods as callable variables, and D wrongly claims that methods must always return a value.
