Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify encapsulation principle
Encapsulation requires hiding internal state and exposing via methods.Step 2: Public fields expose internal state
Direct access breaks encapsulation, risking invalid state changes.Step 3: Evaluate other options
Public fields don't cause performance overhead; name uniqueness unrelated; serialization unaffected by field visibility.Final Answer:
Option D -> Option DQuick Check:
Public fields break encapsulation [OK]
Quick Trick: Public fields violate encapsulation [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing encapsulation with performance
- Assuming public fields affect serialization
- Mixing uniqueness constraints with access modifiers
Trap Explanation:
PITFALL- Candidates often confuse encapsulation with unrelated concerns like performance or serialization.
