Which of the following statements regarding the features of the…

Answer: The true statements are the ability to develop more realistic models of the real world; the ability to represent the world in a non-geometric way; and the ability to develop databases using natural-language-like modelling approaches.

• The ability to develop more realistic models of the real world — Object-oriented modelling maps real entities to objects with attributes and methods, supporting encapsulation and inheritance that mirror real-world relationships.

• The ability to represent the world in a non-geometric way — OO approaches emphasise object identity, state and behaviour rather than geometric or strictly relational representations.

• The ability to develop databases using natural-language-like modelling approaches — OO concepts (objects, classes, methods) correspond well to terms used in natural-language descriptions of domains, making models more intuitive; this does not mean the database uses actual natural language.

Why the other statements are incorrect:

• The need to split objects into their component parts — Object-oriented design encourages keeping related state and behaviour together (encapsulation); splitting objects into parts is not a general OO requirement.

• The ability to develop database models based on location rather than state and behaviour — OO models prioritise an object's state and behaviour; location-based modelling is not a defining feature of the object-oriented approach.
