Answer
They maintain object integrity. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Safe change paths are methods that ensure any modification to an object is done in a controlled and validated manner. This avoids leaving an object in an inconsistent state. For instance, in a `User` class, methods like `updateEmail(String newEmail)` can validate the new email before applying the change, ensuring the object remains valid.
