What is the default inheritance mode when a C++ struct derives from another type?

Options

C. Public inheritance

Answer: (C) Public inheritance

When a derived type is declared using the struct keyword, inheritance is public by default.

For example:

struct Base { };
struct Derived : Base { };

The above is equivalent to:

struct Derived : public Base { };

This is an important distinction between class inheritance and struct inheritance.
