Which of the following is NOT a way to grant access to a class member?

Making the member public
Using the default package access
Declaring the class member as static
Providing accessor/mutator methods

The correct answer is: Declaring the class member as static

One way to grant access to a class member is by making it public, meaning other classes and methods can access it. B is incorrect because using the default package access can grant access to a class member within the same package. D is incorrect because providing accessor/mutator methods allows other classes to modify or retrieve the value of a private class member. C is incorrect because declaring a class member as static has no impact on granting access to it. Static simply means the member belongs to the class rather than to an instance of the class.
