FC0-U71 Practice Question: Which TWO of the following are common…

Which TWO of the following are common characteristics of object-oriented programming languages?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many candidates confuse 'characteristics of OOP' with 'programming paradigms' and incorrectly select procedural or functional programming, which are separate paradigms, not OOP features.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Inheritance

Inheritance is a core characteristic of object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows a class to derive properties and behaviors from a parent class, promoting code reuse and hierarchical relationships. This is a defining feature of OOP languages like Java, C++, and Python, distinguishing them from procedural or functional paradigms.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Procedural programming

    Why it's wrong here

    Procedural programming is a different paradigm, not specific to OOP.

  • ✗

    Polymorphism

    Why it's wrong here

    Polymorphism is an OOP concept, but only TWO are required, and we already have two correct answers.

  • ✗

    Functional programming

    Why it's wrong here

    Functional programming is a different paradigm, not OOP.

  • ✓

    Inheritance

    Why this is correct

    Inheritance allows a class to derive properties from another class.

  • ✓

    Encapsulation

    Why this is correct

    Encapsulation is a core OOP principle that bundles data and methods.
