Question: 1 / 510

Can a private inner class be accessed outside of its enclosing class?

Yes, using reflection

No

Private inner classes are not accessible outside of their enclosing class because they have restricted access modifiers. Option A is incorrect because although reflection can allow access to private members, it cannot bypass the access modifier set on the inner class. Option C is incorrect because a public method within the enclosing class would not be able to access the private inner class. Option D is incorrect because inheriting the outer class does not automatically grant access to the private inner class.
