I would have chosen maybe B.

Why?

Encapsulation ensures that no other classes can have access to your variables, which is why you usually want them declared private.

Why Maybe?

Well, I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm 17 years old and I honestly don't know what the word "clarity" means. I just looked it up and got:

clar穒穞y

1.clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity.

So it seems right now.

One more diversion, since it's Friday. The basic taste sensors on your tongue register sweet, sour, salty and bitter, right? What about umami? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami
