B. Make all properties private.
C. Make all methods protected.
D. Make all properties private and provide setter method for area property.
E. Make all properties private and getArea method public.
Answers
1. Correct option : D Encapsulation uses access modifiers to protect variables.
2. Correct option : E To make a class as fully encapsulated, make variables as private and provide setters methods to assign or change variable values and provide getters methods to get variable values.
3. Correct options : A, C With Encapsulation your classes can expose only certain fields and methods to other classes for access and class can have total control over what data is stored in its fields.
4. Correct option : D To make the above class as fully encapsulated, make all variables as private and give setter method for name property for assigning data to name property.
5. Correct option : E To make the above class as fully encapsulated, make all variables as private and give public to getArea method.
