Polling checks constantly the status of de I/O device, wasting CPU cycles. However with Interrupt driven I/O the device sends a request to the CPU to indicate that it needs attention.
So, in some cases, Interrupt driven I/O will be better than polling, because doesn't waste CPU cycles checking when the device needs attention.

How do the IO facilities in C plus plus differ from those in C?
The C standard library IO facilities are not extensible. For instance, the printf() and scanf() functions cannot handle user-defined types. However, the C++ standard library provides IO streams with insertion and extraction operators (<< and >>) that can be overloaded to support any user-defined type.
What is DMA in 8085 in microprocessor?
DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, in regards to 8085 MP. It consists of 2 pins, namely, HOLD and HLDA. The former of which indicates the processor that either a peripherial or any IO device, is requesting the processor to hold its current activites and give the control of buses to IO devices. HLDA, on the contrary, is the acknowledgement from the microprocessor to the concerned IO device sending the request.
