Which term describes the error-handling mechanism that uses try and catch blocks?

• A. Error Handling
• B. Fault Tolerance
• C. Try/Catch Block
• D. Exception Handling

Answer: (C)

Exception handling using a try/catch construct is all about running code that might fail inside a try block and then handling any problem in a catch block. The term described here is the Try/Catch Block, because it names the exact language feature that implements this pattern: code attempted in the try block, with errors diverted to the catch block where you respond to or recover from the issue. This specific construct gives you a clear structure to separate normal execution from error handling, which is why it’s the best fit. Broader ideas like error handling in general, or exception handling as the overall concept, don’t point to the exact syntax used to implement it, and fault tolerance refers to system resilience rather than a particular coding mechanism.
