Explanation
The answer is B because the code fragment contains a syntax error that prevents it from compiling. The code fragment tries to catch a StockException in line 10, but the catch block does not have a parameter of type StockException. The catch block should have a parameter of type StockException, such as:
catch (StockException e) { // handle the exception }
This is required by the Java syntax for the catch clause, which must have a parameter that is a subclass of Throwable. Without a parameter, the catch block is invalid and causes a compilation error.
Option A is incorrect because the program does not throw a StockException, as it does not compile.
Option C is incorrect because the program does not throw an OutofStockException, as it does not compile.
Option D is incorrect because the program does not throw a ClassCastException, as it does not compile.
