I want to ask this question from Catching Class Types topic in chapter Exception Handling & Static Class Members of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

The correct answer is (c) Infinite loops

To explain I would say: The infinite loops doesn’t stop running once started. There must be a way to stop the loop but that is always an improper termination. Infinite loops may keep on using more memory and hence would result in memory error.
