What are the different types of inheritance?

Single inheritance: one class inherits from one parent. Multi-level inheritance: chain of inheritance (A -> B -> C). Hierarchical inheritance: multiple classes inherit from one parent. Multiple inheritance: one class inherits from multiple parents (C++, Python support; Java uses interfaces). Hybrid inheritance: combination of types. Issues: Diamond problem in multiple inheritance (ambiguity when same member inherited via different paths). Solutions: virtual inheritance (C++), method resolution order MRO (Python), interfaces (Java). Choose inheritance type based on relationship modeling needs.
