Given a method in a protected class, what access modifier do you use to restrict access to that method to only the other members of the same class?

Q: Given a method in a protected class, what access modifier do you use to restrict access to that method to only the other members of the same class?

The private access modifier limits access to members of the same class. Option A, B, D, and E are wrong because protected are the wrong access modifiers, and final, static, and volatile are modifiers but not access modifiers.

final
static
private
protected
volatile

Correct Answer: private

Explanation:

The private access modifier limits access to members of the same class.

Option A, B, D, and E are wrong because protected are the wrong access modifiers, and final, static, and volatile are modifiers but not access modifiers.
