To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Defines a class that inherits all the methods of A - This option is incorrect because it states that class B inherits all the methods of A. However, without any additional information, we cannot determine if class B indeed inherits all the methods of class A.
Option B) Defines a class that inherits the public and protected methods of A only - This option is correct. In C#, when a class is derived from another class (using the colon syntax), it inherits the public and protected members of the base class. In this case, class B inherits the public and protected methods of class A.
Option C) Errors - This option is incorrect because there is no apparent error in the given code. It is a valid class definition.
Option D) a and b - This option is incorrect because only option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because it assumes that class B inherits all the methods of class A, which is not necessarily true.
The correct answer is B) Defines a class that inherits the public and protected methods of A only. This option is correct because when a class is derived from another class in C#, it inherits the public and protected members of the base class.
