Ruby - Error Handling

Find the error in this Ruby code snippet:

begin
  raise 'Oops!'
rescue IOError
  puts 'IO error caught'
end

AThe raise statement must specify an exception class

BThe rescue clause will not catch the raised error

CThe rescue clause syntax is incorrect

DNo error; code runs fine

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the raised error
Raising with a string 'Oops!' creates a RuntimeError by default.
Step 2: Check rescue clause type
The rescue only catches IOError, but the raised error is RuntimeError, so it is not caught.
Final Answer:
The rescue clause will not catch the raised error -> Option B
Quick Check:
Rescue type mismatch causes uncaught error [OK]

Quick Trick: Raised error type must match rescue type [OK]
