Which access specifier must follow the struct member declarations it applies to?

It doesn't need to follow, it's applied globally
private
Before and after
All access specifiers need to be mentioned at the start

The correct answer is: private

Unlike classes, structs in C++ have default public access, which means all the member declarations are accessible by any part of the program. Therefore, it is important to explicitly specify the access specifier for struct members to control their accessibility. Using the "private" access specifier specifies that the member can only be accessed by member functions or friends of the struct. Both options A and D are incorrect as they suggest that access specifiers are not necessary or must be mentioned for all members, respectively. Option C is also incorrect as it does not specify which access specifier needs to follow the struct member declarations.
