  2. 5

  3. 10 5

D Correct answer
Explanation

 When we compile the given program it generates compile time error.

Because integer variable 'a' is defined in both Parent classes. Child class inherits both Parent class & child class function func() accesses integer variable 'a' which leads to ambigious situation.

Error generated at line:  return a; Error message : reference to 'a' is ambigious This option is true.
