Which type of function call introduces runtime overhead in C++ according to the text?

Inline functions
Static member functions
Virtual functions
Overloaded functions

The correct answer is: Virtual functions

Virtual functions introduce runtime overhead in C++ because it requires dynamic binding, meaning that the compiler has to perform extra work to resolve the correct function call at runtime. A Inline functions do not introduce runtime overhead because they are substituted at compile time. B: Static member functions do not introduce runtime overhead because they can be called without creating an object of the class. D: Overloaded functions do not introduce runtime overhead because the compiler determines the correct function call at compile time based on the arguments passed in.
