Quiz: What kind of member is Name?

Even though I got the answer right. I don't feel like I understand it. The answer being: "I don't know without looking at the class definition". But what does the class definition have to do with anything? Should it not say "declaration" instead of "class definition"? Am I being pedantic or have completely gone off track? Can someone help?

Declarations in a C# program define the constituent elements of the program. All the question is asking is what kind of member Name is. Wich you don't know without looking inside the employee class to see how Name is defined there.

I think you're just really overthinking the question ;)
