Question

The most restrictive access specifier is ______.

Options

• private

• public

• protected

• default

Answer 1

The most restrictive access specifier is private.

Explanation:

This is the most restrictive access modifier in Java. Any member (variable or method) marked as private can only be accessed within the exact same class in which it is declared. It is completely hidden from subclasses, other classes in the same package, and external packages.
