a. subclass

b. superclass

c. slave class

d. child class

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Program Description Answer

 In an inheritance relationship, the superclass is referred as “General class”.

Hence, the correct answer is option is “B”.

Explanation of Solution

Inheritance:

In python, it is possible to construct a new class that inherits the members of an existing class, which is referred as “inheritance”.

 “is a” relationship in inheritance:

In python, if one object is a specialized kind of another object, then there should be an “is a” relationship between those objects. This is used to create the “is a” relationship among several classes.

For example:

  • A truck is a vehicle.
  • A circle is a shape.

Super class and sub class:

In python, the inheritance concept involves two classes. They are superclass and subclass.

  • A superclass is also referred as “general class” or “base class” and a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class”.
  • The sub class is an extended kind of the superclass. This means a subclass can inherit the attributes and class member functions from the superclass without rewriting them in the subclass.
  • Extra methods can be added in the subclass, which implies the specialized kind of the superclass.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

In inheritance, a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class”.

Hence, option “A” is wrong.

In inheritance, slave class is not present.

Hence, option “C” is wrong.

In inheritance, a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class” or child class.

Hence, option “D” is wrong.
