I got this question in an internship interview.

I need to ask this question from Private Access Specifier in portion Access Specifiers of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) Private specifier can be used anywhere in class

To explain I would say: The private specifier can be used anywhere in the class as required. It is not a rule to mention the private members first and then others. It is just followed to write first for better readability.
