Response:

public, private and protected are the three access modifiers used in Scala. Include the keywords private/protected/public in the definition of class, object or package to enforce the corresponding scope. If none of these keywords are used, then the access modifier is public by default.

Note that there is no public keyword. That is the default visibility.
