Java: Controlled Mutation
Answer
It controls access to class members. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Visibility in Java is managed by access modifiers like private, protected, and public, which control access to class members. Using these modifiers wisely helps protect the internal state of objects. For example, marking fields as `private` and providing `public` methods for access ensures that the internal data can only be changed through controlled pathways.
