B)
Output file:
A file that is used to store the output is called as output file. When a program stores the output in a file, then it is called as output file. “ofstream” is a data type that represents output file stream used to create files and write information to files using output file stream object.
Example program:
//Include a header for input and output
#include <iostream>
//Include a for file operations
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
// Driver method main()
int main () {
// Create an object for ofstream
ofstream outfile;
// Open output file
outfile...
