Which three statements are benefits of encapsulation?

Encapsulation hides the internal implementation details of a class, allowing developers to modify the internal workings without affecting external client code as long as the public interface remains consistent.

By restricting direct access to an object's internal data members and providing controlled access through public methods, encapsulation effectively protects confidential or sensitive data from unauthorized external access or accidental modification.

Encapsulation helps manage object state but does not inherently prevent code from causing exceptions; exceptions can still arise from various logical or runtime errors.

Encapsulation allows a class to maintain its internal consistency by enforcing rules (invariants) on its data through controlled access methods, ensuring that the object's state always remains valid and meaningful.

The ability to combine classes into the same package is a feature of modularization or packaging, not a direct benefit of encapsulation, which focuses on data and method bundling within a single class.

Creating multiple instances of a class safely is a fundamental characteristic of object-oriented programming instantiation, while encapsulation ensures each instance's internal state is managed properly once created.
