Which behavioral pattern provides a way to capture and restore an object’s internal state without violating encapsulation (enabling Undo mechanisms)?
APrototype Pattern
BCommand Pattern
CMemento Pattern
DVisitor Pattern
Which behavioral design pattern allows an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes, appearing as if its class changed?
AState Pattern
BStrategy Pattern
CMemento Pattern
DObserver Pattern
Which behavioral design pattern encapsulates how a set of objects interact, preventing explicit direct references and promoting loose coupling through a central coordinator?
AFacade Pattern
BMediator Pattern
CCommand Pattern
DObserver Pattern
