Software Development Fundamentals — Question 51

The purpose of the Catch section in an exception handler is to:

Answer options

• A. Break out of the error handler.
• B. Conclude the execution of the application.
• C. Execute code only when an exception is thrown.
• D. Execute code regardless of whether an exception is thrown.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Catch block is specifically designed to execute code in response to exceptions being thrown. Options A and B misinterpret the function of the Catch block, while option D inaccurately describes its behavior since the Catch block only runs when an exception is encountered.
