Question 266 of 481
1Z0-811 Object-Oriented Programming Practice Question
Which TWO access modifiers allow access from a subclass in a different package?
⚠ Common exam trap
Oracle often tests the distinction between access modifiers and non-access modifiers, so candidates may mistakenly select 'static' as an access modifier because it is commonly used with methods and fields.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
protected
(protected) is correct because the protected access modifier allows access to members of a superclass by subclasses in different packages, provided the subclass inherits from the superclass. Option E (public) is also correct because public members are accessible from any class, regardless of package or inheritance.
