What does treating derived-type objects as their generic base types enable?

  1. Faster execution of the program

  2. Easy detection of errors

  3. Code that works with any subtype

  4. Decreased use of virtual functions

The correct answer is: Code that works with any subtype

Treating derived-type objects as their generic base types enables the code that works with any subtype, meaning it allows for greater flexibility and compatibility in the code. Options A and B do not directly relate to the benefits of treating derived-type objects as their generic base types. Option D is also incorrect because using virtual functions is not affected by treating derived-type objects as their generic base types. Thus, option C is the most accurate and logical answer.
