Answer
Public methods and fields only. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
The default access level of MethodHandles created with publicLookup() is limited to public methods and fields. This mirrors the access level you would have without using reflection or MethodHandles, ensuring that encapsulation is respected unless explicitly bypassed with more privileged Lookups.
