Python - Multiple Inheritance and Method Resolution

What is the diamond problem in Python's multiple inheritance?

AA problem where Python cannot find any method in the class hierarchy.

BA syntax error caused by using multiple inheritance.

CA situation where a class inherits from two classes that both inherit from the same base class.

DA situation where a class inherits from only one base class.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand multiple inheritance structure
The diamond problem occurs when a class inherits from two classes that share a common ancestor, forming a diamond shape in the inheritance graph.
Step 2: Recognize the diamond shape
This shape causes ambiguity in method resolution because the common base class appears twice in the inheritance path.
Final Answer:
A situation where a class inherits from two classes that both inherit from the same base class. -> Option C
Quick Check:
Diamond problem = multiple inheritance with shared base [OK]

Quick Trick: Diamond problem = shared base class inherited twice [OK]
