Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand exception propagation concept

    When an exception occurs, Java looks for a matching catch block in the current method. If none is found, it passes the exception to the caller method.
  2. Step 2: Follow the exception up the call stack

    This passing continues up the call stack until a catch block handles it or the program terminates if uncaught.
  3. Final Answer:

    An exception is passed up the call stack until caught or program ends -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Exception moves up call stack = A [OK]
Quick Trick: Exception moves up call stack until caught [OK]
