Consider the following code snippet:public static void main(String[] args) throws of the following statements about this code is correct?
a) The main method is designed to catch and handle all types of exceptions.
b) The main method is designed to catch and handle the FileNotFoundException.
c) The main method should simply terminate if the FileNotFoundException occurs.
d) The main method will not terminate if any exception occurs.

The main method should simply terminate if the FileNotFoundException occurs.

Explanation:

Considering the full code snippet

snippet:public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException

public static void main(String[])

represent the entry point method to a java main method

The addition of

throws FileNotFoundException

widens the scope of the main method to explicitly specifies that an exception named the FileNotFoundException may be thrown.

So, if any part of the code explicitly throws the FileNotFoundException the compiler makes use of this to throw an exception.

By throwing an exception, the main method is not catching any exceptions, instead it handles the FileNotFoundException by throwing it to the source which invoked the main method

This is required by the compiler to terminate the program if the FileNotFoundException occurs.
