Which mechanism handles the "Object Linking in OLE by maintaining a persistent connection to a remote server's CLSID?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., Component Object Model (COM).
In OLE (Object Linking and Embedding), the underlying architecture is based on COM (Component Object Model).
Why COM is correct:
- OLE is built on top of COM technology
- COM manages communication between software components
- It uses CLSID (Class Identifiers) to identify objects
- It supports object linking and embedding across applications, including remote access scenarios
Therefore, persistent linking of objects in OLE is handled through the COM architecture.
