Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NullPointerExceptions and ArithmeticExceptions are both unchecked exceptions, meaning they are not required to be caught or handled by a try-catch block. The class they are derived from is RuntimeException, which is a sub-class of Exception. Error is a separate sub-class of Throwable, and IllegalAccessException is a checked exception that must be caught or declared to be thrown. Therefore, the correct choice is C, RuntimeException.
