Answer:

Polymorphism is an ability to appear in many forms. It refers to the ability of the system to call correct implementation of methods with the same name. For example, Engineer as well as Manager class might have a method called CalculateSalary(). However, at runtime depending on whether the underlying object is of type Engineer or Manager correct version of the method is called.
