How does C++ handle dynamic memory allocation compared to C?

  1. C++ does not allow dynamic memory allocation

  2. C++ performs automatic type conversion during allocation

  3. C++ combines memory allocation with object initialization

  4. C++ simplifies memory allocation with pointers

The correct answer is: C++ combines memory allocation with object initialization

C++ combines memory allocation with object initialization, while C requires separate functions for memory allocation and object initialization. This reduces the risk of memory leaks and simplifies the process for programmers. Options A and B are incorrect because C++ does allow dynamic memory allocation and does not perform automatic type conversion during allocation. Option D is incorrect because although C++ does use pointers for memory allocation, it does not necessarily simplify the process. Overall, option C is the most efficient and recommended approach when it comes to dynamic memory allocation in C++.
