Why is option D correct? We cannot access the protector methods outside of the class until and unless they are called from a object which is an instance of the sub-class of the class where protected method was defined. Right?
protected will be access same package sub class and non sub class and not access different package non sub class.but it access to object reference via different package sub class.
In the option A what do you mean "and from inside all subclasses"?
Both the options A and D are not similar?
