Q3. MRO in Python ?
Ans. 
MRO (Method Resolution Order) in Python determines the order in which base classes are searched when executing a method.
• MRO is crucial in multiple inheritance scenarios to avoid ambiguity.

• Python uses the C3 linearization algorithm to compute MRO.

• You can view the MRO of a class using the __mro__ attribute or the mro() method.

• Example: For class D inheriting from B and C, and both B and C inheriting from A, MRO is D ->...read more
