a) By using the method name with parentheses
b) By using the method name with square brackets
c) By using the method name with the "self" keyword
d) By using the method name with the "set" keyword
10. Which of the following is not a benefit of using encapsulation in Python?

code

13. Which of the following is a valid way to define a class method in Python?
a) Define a method with the @classmethod decorator
b) Define a method with the @staticmethod decorator
c) Define a method with the @property decorator
d) Define a method with the "public" keyword
14. Which of the following is a valid way to define a static method in Python?
a) Define a method with the @classmethod decorator
b) Define a method with the @staticmethod decorator
c) Define a method with the @property decorator
d) Define a method with the "public" keyword
15. Which of the following is not a characteristic of a class method in Python?
