Explanation

Java's access modifiers follow this order: private (most restrictive) → default (package) → protected → public (least restrictive). When overriding a method, the subclass cannot make it more restrictive than the parent. A protected method can be overridden as protected or public, but NOT private (too restrictive) or default (package-private).
