Python - Inheritance and Code Reuse

What will be the output of this code?

class Animal:
    def sound(self):
        return "Some sound"

class Cat(Animal):
    def sound(self):
        return "Meow"

pet = Cat()
print(pet.sound())

AError

B"Some sound"

CNone

D"Meow"

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand inheritance
The class Cat inherits from Animal and overrides the sound method.
Step 2: Method overriding
When pet.sound() is called, Python uses the sound method defined in Cat, not Animal.
Final Answer:
"Meow" -> Option D
