Classes question need quick help!

[hilft]

here is one of the questions from my assignment.
I don't know the answer, but I think y is protected.
Can anyone confirm the answer and give me a way to test this?

  Variable "y" in class Y, will be...
    class X {
    private:     int x;
    protected:   int y;
    public:      int z;
    };
    class Y : protected X {
    };
       

Select correct answer (single choice)
 private 
 none of these 
 protected 
 public

anyone?

Yes it is protected ; since the variable y was protected In class x and inherited as protected.
The answer is yes : y is protected , you are guessing right.
Good Luck, Zaki
