To answer this question, you need to understand the concepts of class partitioning and subclassing in object-oriented programming.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) The subclass has additional attributes of interest - This option is true. When partitioning a class into subclasses, it is common for each subclass to have additional attributes specific to its own characteristics or requirements.
Option B) The subclass has additional associations of interest - This option is true. Similar to additional attributes, a subclass can have additional associations or relationships with other classes that are specific to its own behavior or functionality.
Option C) Some of the attributes/operations in the superclass are not applicable to the subclass - This option is false. When creating subclasses, all the attributes and operations defined in the superclass are inherited by the subclasses. The subclasses can choose to override or extend these attributes and operations, but they cannot remove them entirely.
Option D) The subclass concept is operated on, handled, reacted to, or manipulated differently than the superclass or other subclasses in ways that are of interest - This option is true. Subclasses can define their own specialized behavior and functionality, which may be different from the superclass or other subclasses. This is one of the main reasons for partitioning a class into subclasses.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Some of the attributes/operations in the superclass are not applicable to the subclass.
