Python - Polymorphism and Dynamic Behavior

What happens if you try to instantiate an abstract base class directly in Python?

AIt creates an object but abstract methods return None

BIt creates an object normally without errors

CIt raises a SyntaxError

DIt raises a TypeError because abstract methods are not implemented

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand abstract base class instantiation rules
Abstract base classes (ABCs) cannot be instantiated if they have abstract methods not implemented.
Step 2: Check what happens when instantiating an ABC
Python raises a TypeError if you try to create an instance of an ABC with unimplemented abstract methods.
Final Answer:
It raises a TypeError because abstract methods are not implemented -> Option D
Quick Check:
Instantiating ABC = TypeError [OK]

Quick Trick: Cannot create ABC instance if abstract methods exist [OK]
