What is late binding used for in OOP?

  1. To optimize memory usage

  2. To determine function calls at runtime

  3. To increase program security

  4. To enforce type safety

The correct answer is: To determine function calls at runtime

Late binding, also known as dynamic or run-time binding, is a mechanism used in object-oriented programming to determine function or method calls at runtime. This allows for more flexibility and adaptability in code, as the exact function or method to be executed can be determined based on the specific object or data being used. Options A, C, and D do not accurately describe the purpose of late binding and are therefore incorrect. Late binding is not used for optimizing memory usage, increasing program security, or enforcing type safety.
