I want to know whether my understanding on the constructors is correct or not. I just tried to attempt a quiz for constructors but confused whether my understanding is correct or not

--> Every class needs at least one constructor defined - False (In C#, if you don't provide one, the compiler automatically provides a default constructor.)

--> It’s possible to avoid a class being instantiated by simply having only a private constructor on it. – False (A private constructor is a special instance constructor. It is generally used in classes that contain static members only. In a nutshell, you can still create an instance of a class with private constructor thru some other means (e.g. from static methods)

--> A static constructor in a non­static class is called once on each object creation. – False (If a static constructor has been called once, compiler will not call it again, it will get called once only .The execution of a static constructor is triggered by the first of the following events to occur within an application domain: 1. An instance of the class type is created. 2. Any of the static members of the class type are referenced.)

-->You can specify on the constructor which classes of interfaces that class is inheriting
( i don't know please clarify )

False - you specify interfaces and the base class on the class definition, not on the constructor.

Thank you for answering. Is my understanding on the other statements of constructor correct?

The first one is badly worded - but you are broadly correct.
The second you also correct - the only way to prevent a class being instantiated is not to use it!
The third you also correct - calling a static constructor twice would kinda defeat the idea... :laugh:
