Which access modifier allows access from the same package and subclasses in different packages?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is C) protected. This access modifier allows access from the same package and subclasses in different packages. Private restricts access to only the class itself, public allows access from anywhere, and default (package-private) only allows access within the same package.
