Attributes of an object that define its characteristics.

Attributes of an object that define its characteristics.

• A. Attributes
• B. Pseudo code concepts
• C. Properties
• D. Methods

Answer: (C)

In object-oriented design, the characteristics that describe an object's current data are its properties. These properties hold values that define the object's state, such as color, size, name, or any other data the object carries. Properties are what you read or modify to understand or change how the object appears or behaves in a program. They distinguish from methods, which are the actions the object can perform (behaviors) rather than descriptors of its state. While “attributes” is a related term sometimes used interchangeably, the standard term for these defining characteristics in this context is properties.
