The answer is "An exception is thrown at runtime", which I totally understand. But my question is why "A. It prints X and exits." not correctly.
Although it exits with an exception, but it will print X and exits.

Thanks in advance!

the main thread prints X, after that, line 6 throws an exception because wait() is not being called within a synchronized context.

I think that by "exits" they mean "exits normally" and not "throws an exception."

Well, the only thing I can hope is that the real questions won't be ambiguous.
Thanks!
