Answer
Paths that ensure state changes are valid and consistent.
Safe change paths involve using methods that guarantee any state changes adhere to the class's rules. For example, a `User` class may have a method `updateEmail()` that not only changes the email but also validates its format, ensuring the object remains in a consistent state.
