What is the primary advantage of using templates for container classes?

  1. To enforce type safety

  2. To reduce the need for object-oriented programming

  3. To avoid the need for multiple inheritance

  4. To limit the use of polymorphism

The correct answer is: To enforce type safety

Templates in container classes allow for type safety by specifying the data type of elements within the container. This ensures that the container can only hold elements of a specific type, preventing errors or bugs that may occur if different data types are mixed. The other options, such as reducing the need for object-oriented programming or avoiding multiple inheritance, do not relate to the primary advantage of templates for container classes. While limiting the use of polymorphism can be a benefit of templates, it is not the primary advantage.
