Ruby - Inheritance

In Ruby, what happens when the super keyword is used inside a method without any arguments or parentheses?

AIt calls the parent method with default values for all parameters

BIt calls the parent method with no arguments regardless of current method's arguments

CIt raises an error if the parent method requires arguments

DIt calls the parent method with the same arguments passed to the current method

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand super without arguments
When super is called without parentheses or arguments, Ruby automatically forwards the current method's arguments to the parent method.
Step 2: Check argument forwarding
This means the parent method receives exactly the same arguments as the child method received.
Final Answer:
It calls the parent method with the same arguments passed to the current method -> Option D
Quick Check:
super forwards current arguments [OK]

Quick Trick: super without args forwards current method's arguments [OK]
