Why can't C compilers perform late binding?

Because they don't support object-oriented programming
They don't have the 'virtual' keyword
C compilers only support early binding for function calls
All of the above

The correct answer is: C compilers only support early binding for function calls

C compilers only support early binding for function calls, which means that function calls are resolved at compile time rather than at runtime. This does not allow for late binding, which is when function calls are resolved at runtime. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not fully explain why C compilers cannot perform late binding. Ultimately, it is because C compilers do not support late binding due to their limitation in only supporting early binding.
