(b) __repr__/__str__

(c) user-defined functions/in-built functions

This question is from Encapsulation topic in section Classes and Objects, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Encapsulation and Exception Handling of Python

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) getters/setters

To explain I would say: The purpose of getters and setters is to get(return) and set(assign) private instance variables of a class.
