Specific data associated with an object.

Specific data associated with an object.

• A. Attributes
• B. Properties
• C. Objects
• D. Methods

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the object's state—the data it stores. That data points to the object's attributes. Attributes describe the specific information that characterizes an object at a given moment. For example, a car object might have attributes like color, mileage, and model year. These are distinct from methods, which are the actions the object can perform, or from the object itself as an instance. In some languages, you’ll hear about properties, which are language features for accessing attribute values, but the underlying concept of the data describing the object remains attributes.
