Which term is a blueprint for an object?

• A. Instance
• B. Class
• C. Module
• D. Function

Answer: (B)

In object-oriented programming, a class acts as a template for objects. It defines the structure and behavior that all objects created from it will share—the data it stores (attributes) and the actions it can perform (methods). Think of it as a blueprint that describes what an object will look like and what it can do. When you actually create objects from this blueprint, you get instances—the concrete objects with their own specific data. A module is just a collection of code, not a per-object template, and a function is a reusable block of code that performs a task, not a template for objects.
