Java - Exception Handling

Which of the following correctly demonstrates the placement of a finally block in a Java try-catch structure?

Atry { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ } finally { /* cleanup */ }

Btry { /* code */ } finally { /* cleanup */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ }

Ctry { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ }

Dfinally { /* cleanup */ } try { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ }

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand try-catch-finally order
The finally block must come after all catch blocks.
Step 2: Analyze options
try { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ } finally { /* cleanup */ } correctly places finally after catch. try { /* code */ } finally { /* cleanup */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ } places finally before catch, which is invalid. try { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ } omits finally. finally { /* cleanup */ } try { /* code */ } catch(Exception e) { /* handle */ } places finally before try, which is invalid.
Final Answer:
Option A -> Option A
Quick Check:
Correct order is try-catch-finally [OK]
