B. Modules require explicit declaration of dependencies on other modules. Here's why the other statements are incorrect: (a): Modules by default only have access to their own packages and public members of explicitly declared dependencies. Uncontrolled access would defeat the purpose of modularity and encapsulation. (c): Reflection can be used to access private members within the same module, but it generally cannot bypass module boundaries for private members of other modules. This helps enforce encapsulation and prevents unintended access. (d): Services and providers are a concept related to the Java module system. They allow modules to discover and interact with implementations of specific functionalities without directly depending on the implementation details.
