Encapsulation
20.
Consider the following Python code: 
class Employee:
    def __init__(self, name, salary):
        self._name = name
        self._salary = salary

    def get_salary(self):
        return self._salary

    def set_salary(self, new_salary):
        if new_salary > 0:
            self._salary = new_salary
What concept of encapsulation is demonstrated in this code?
Public access specifier
Private access specifier
Protected access specifier
Global variable
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The single underscore prefix (_) in the variables _name and _salary indicates that they are protected variables, demonstrating encapsulation by hiding the implementation details.
