You are designing a School class that contains many Student objects. Which approach best models this relationship in Python?

ADefine <code>Student</code> and <code>School</code> as unrelated classes

BMake <code>Student</code> inherit from <code>School</code>

CInclude a list attribute in <code>School</code> to store <code>Student</code> objects

DStore student names as strings inside <code>School</code> without using <code>Student</code> objects

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand composition
A School contains many Student objects, so it should hold them in a collection like a list.
Step 2: Evaluate inheritance
Inheritance (Make Student inherit from School) is incorrect because a student is not a type of school.
Step 3: Consider unrelated classes
Define Student and School as unrelated classes ignores the relationship, and Store student names as strings inside School without using Student objects loses the benefits of object modeling.
Final Answer:
Include a list attribute in School to store Student objects -> Option C
Quick Check:
Use composition to model 'has many' relationships [OK]

Quick Trick: Use lists to hold related objects inside classes [OK]
