Suppose you have 4 classes named A, B, C, and D. A is your main base class. A contains a virtual method named as PrintName. Because it is a virtual method, all classes which will inherit from base class A can override this method. B and C are 2 classes, which are inheriting from base class A and overriding its PrintName method. Class D is inheriting from both B and C, which means both the overridden methods are available for class D. Now, there is a question. When you create an instance of the D class and would try to call the method PrintName, which method should be called? The method from B or C? There will be ambiguity and this problem is called Diamond Problem. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace Hello { class A { public virtual void PrintName() { Console.WriteLine( "Class A" ); } } class B:A { public override void PrintName() { Console.WriteLine( "Class B" ); } } class C:A { public override void PrintName() { Console.WriteLine( "Class C" ); } } //NOT WORK class D: B, C { } class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { D d = new D(); d.PrintName(); } } } Please refer below link https://www.fwait.com/what-is-diamond-problem-in-c/ https://www.educative.io/answers/what-is-a-diamond-problem-in-object-oriented-programming https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12139772/how-do-interfaces-solve-the-diamond-problem https://www.programmingwithshri.com/2018/09/what-is-diamond-problem-in-c.html

C# does not support the Multiple Class Inheritances? C# does not support it because it adds too much complexity to C#, one of them is the diamond problem. It will create ambiguity for CLR which one has to call if there is any method with the same name in more than one base class
