Encapsulation
30.
Consider the following Python code: 
class Student:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self._name = name
        self._age = age

    def get_name(self):
        return self._name

    def set_age(self, new_age):
        if new_age >= 0:
            self._age = new_age
What concept of encapsulation is demonstrated in this code?
Public access specifier
Private access specifier
Protected access specifier
Global variable
Answer: Option
