The static member functions have a class scope and they have access to the 'this' pointer of the class.

True

False
Static member functions belong to the class rather than individual objects, so they don't have a 'this' pointer. They can only access static members of the class. The 'this' pointer only exists for non-static member functions that operate on specific object instances.
Static member functions in C++ belong to the class itself rather than to any particular object instance, and are not called through an object (no implicit object argument is passed to them). Because they have no associated object, they do not receive a 'this' pointer and cannot access it — attempting to use 'this' inside a static member function is a compile error. So the statement ('static member functions... have access to the this pointer') is False, which is the marked-correct answer: static functions do have class scope, but they explicitly lack access to 'this' since there's no bound instance.
