What problem arises when trying to use a container from a singly-rooted hierarchy to store objects from an independent class hierarchy?

Type mismatch errors
Increased compile time
Memory leaks
Inflexibility due to inheritance restrictions

The correct answer is: Inflexibility due to inheritance restrictions

The key issue with using a container from a singly-rooted hierarchy to store objects from an independent class hierarchy is the inflexibility that arises due to inheritance restrictions. This means that objects from the independent class hierarchy will not be able to inherit certain properties and methods from the container, limiting their functionality and potentially causing errors. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the specific problem that arises in this scenario. Type mismatch errors, increased compile time, and memory leaks may occur in certain situations, but they are not the primary concern when attempting to use a container from a singly-rooted hierarchy for objects from an independent class hierarchy.
