Encapsulation

80.

How can encapsulation be enforced in Python to make a variable 'email' accessible only within its own class?

class User:
    def __init__(self, email, __password):
        self.email = email
        self.__password = __password

Use a getter method for 'email'

Add a single underscore prefix before 'email'

Make 'email' a global variable

Add a double underscore prefix before 'email'

Answer: Option

Explanation:

Adding a double underscore prefix before 'email' makes it a private variable, enforcing encapsulation within the class.
