What does it mean for an operator overload to be 'syntactic sugar'?

It significantly enhances the performance of the operation

It is a required feature for any C++ class design

It makes the syntax more pleasant without changing the functionality

Syntactic sugar is a term used to describe a language feature that makes code easier to read and write, but doesn't necessarily add any new functionality. In this case, operator overload as syntactic sugar means that it allows for a more natural and intuitive syntax when using operators, without changing the underlying functionality of those operators. Option A is incorrect because operator overload is not related to performance, option B is incorrect because it is not a required feature for all classes in C++, and option D is incorrect because operator overload does not add new functionalities to operators.
