A developer is working with a Car class in an object-oriented programming language. An object instance named myCar is created from this class. Which of the following choices BEST represents a property of the myCar object?
A property of an object is designed to hold data related to that object, similar to how an attribute or characteristic describes a real-world entity. In the context of a myCar object, properties represent its descriptive features, such as color or model. The correct answer is myCar.color, as 'color' is a typical attribute for a car. The other options are incorrect. myCar.drive() represents a method, which is an action the object can perform, indicated by the parentheses. Car.getAverageMpg refers to the Car class, not the myCar instance, and is likely a static attribute or an incompletely called method. color(myCar) represents a procedural-style function call, not the standard syntax for accessing an object's property.
