Hi Cathy,
This has been a really weird one. You are right of course, and when we submitted this mock exam to the publisher we listed the correct answer as "F. An exception is thrown at runtime", somehow that got lost
We're just beginning an errata update, and we will have that available shortly. We will post on this forum when the updated errata is available!
Thanks,
Bert
p.s. We don't always catch these posts on JavaRanch, although we try, if you discover an errata in the future please send us an email! That way we won't miss any.
