What does a destructor in C++ do?

Returns memory allocated during object creation

Initializes object attributes

Cleans up resources when an object goes out of scope

Its main purpose is to clean up or release any resources that the object may have acquired during its lifetime such as allocated memory, open files or network connections. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the main purpose of a destructor.
