For new C++ learners, existing C code should be?

  1. Rewritten in C++

  2. Not modified

  3. Wrapped in C++ classes if necessary

  4. Discarded

The correct answer is: Wrapped in C++ classes if necessary

Existing C code should be wrapped in C++ classes if necessary. This is because C++ is an extension of C, and while C is a procedural language, C++ is an object-oriented language. Wrapping C code in C++ classes allows it to be used in a more organized and structured manner while allowing users to use the added features of C++. The other options are incorrect because option A suggests rewriting the code, which can be time-consuming and unnecessary for basic C++ learners. Option B suggests not making any changes to the code, which may lead to mistakes and inefficiency. Option D suggests discarding the code, which would be wasteful and counterproductive.
