Python - Encapsulation and Data Protection

What will be the result of executing this code?

class Animal:
    def __init__(self):
        self.__species = 'Cat'

pet = Animal()
print(pet.__species)

ASyntaxError

BCat

CNone

DAttributeError: 'Animal' object has no attribute '__species'

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand private attribute access
Attributes with double underscores are name-mangled and cannot be accessed directly outside the class.
Step 2: Analyze the code
Trying to print pet.__species will raise an AttributeError because __species is private.
Final Answer:
AttributeError: 'Animal' object has no attribute '__species' -> Option D
Quick Check:
Direct access to double underscore attributes causes AttributeError [OK]

Quick Trick: Private attributes cause AttributeError if accessed directly [OK]
