I am not quite sure if I understand the meaning of the question very well

I am thinking the answer is yes since we can use dynamic binding?
Is this the right answer?

Thanks

Somewhat. You can access the derived parts of the object if the pointer points to a derived class object. But you can't do it directly unless those parts are inherited and/or shared through polymorphism. Otherwise you would need to downcast. But technically after downcasting you're accessing the object through a derived pointer. Fun, huh? :D
