I thought you could only throw exceptions with the `throw` keyword, so B seems off to me.

I practiced similar questions, and I feel like A and D are the right answers since they both involve throwing the exception.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think C and D are just creating an instance without throwing it, right?

I remember that to throw an exception, we need to use the `throw` keyword, so A looks correct.
