Java has four protection levels. If you don't explicitly
specify [private, protected, public] the protection level is
implicitly "package-private". That means that any class in the
same package can access that attribute. I believe that Java
packages are identical to D packages.

C# has 6 accessibility levels:
public - Access is not restricted.
protected - Access is limited to the containing class or types
derived from the containing class.
private - Access is limited to the containing type.
internal - Access is limited to the current assembly.
protected internal - Access is limited to the current assembly or
types derived from the containing class.
private protected - Access is limited to the containing class or
types derived from the containing class within the current
assembly. Available since C# 7.2.
What is a C# Assembly? Someone says on a forum:
"An assembly is a "unit of deployment" for .NET, almost always a
.exe or .dll.
In C# terms, it's basically a single C# project."
And also refers to

which says:
"Assemblies are the building blocks of .NET Framework
applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment,
version control, reuse, activation scoping, and security
permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources
that are built to work together and form a logical unit of
functionality. An assembly provides the common language runtime
with the information it needs to be aware of type
implementations. To the runtime, a type does not exist outside
the context of an assembly."
