Which C++ feature allows functions to behave like preprocessor macros without their downsides?

  1. Templates

  2. Inline functions

  3. Lambda expressions

  4. Function overloading

The correct answer is: Inline functions

Inline functions are the correct choice because they eliminate the drawbacks of using preprocessor macros, such as potential name collisions and lack of type checking. Templates are not the correct choice because they still require separate compilation and have more complex syntax. Lambda expressions are not the correct choice as they are primarily used for creating anonymous functions and do not have the functionality of preprocessor macros. Function overloading is not the correct choice because it is used for defining multiple functions with the same name but different parameters, and does not have the same functionality as preprocessor macros.
