What will be the output of this PowerShell script?

try {
  Write-Output 'Begin'
  5 / 0
  Write-Output 'Finish'
} catch {
  Write-Output 'Exception caught'
} finally {
  Write-Output 'Finalizing'
}

A'Exception caught' then 'Finalizing' only

B'Begin' followed by 'Finish' then 'Finalizing'

C'Begin' followed by 'Exception caught' then 'Finalizing'

D'Begin' then 'Finalizing' only

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Execution starts in try block
'Begin' is output first.
Step 2: Error occurs at 5 / 0
Division by zero throws an exception, so 'Finish' is skipped.
Step 3: catch block runs
'Exception caught' is output.
Step 4: finally block runs
'Finalizing' is output regardless of error.
Final Answer:
'Begin' followed by 'Exception caught' then 'Finalizing' -> Option C
Quick Check:
Error skips rest of try, catch then finally run [OK]
