You add the desired type to a specific template class instantiation by placing the type’s name ______

The correct answer is: A. between angle brackets.

When you instantiate a template class, you need to specify the type that will be used to fill in the template parameters. You do this by placing the type’s name between angle brackets (< >) after the template class name. For example, if you have a template class called MyClass with a template parameter called T, you would instantiate it as follows:

MyClass<int> myIntObject;

This would create an object of type MyClass that uses the type int to fill in the template parameter T.

The other options are incorrect. Option B, in parentheses, is used to specify the arguments to a function. Option C, on a line by itself, is used to declare a variable. Option D, immediately prior to the class name, is used to declare a function.
