A Correct answer
Explanation

The getline(cin, mystring) function reads a complete line of text from the input stream (cin) and stores it in the string variable mystring. Unlike cin >> mystring which stops at whitespace, getline reads until a newline character. Option B is reversed (cin is the source, not destination). Option C is incorrect because getline is a standard valid function.
