Given that a java.io.IOException might occur when calling the read() method of the BufferedInputStream, you can handle the exception by:
a) Catch a java.io.EOFException using a try/catch clause.

b) Catch a java.lang.Exception using a try/catch clause.

c) Listing a java.io.EOFException in a throws list.

d) Catch the java.lang.Exception using the throw statement

SeaHawk,
"a" and "c" can't be correct because of the folowing hierarchy
+--java.lang.Exception
|
+--java.io.IOException
|
+--java.io.EOFException
"b" is quite obvious and is correct!!
For "d" Catch the java.lang.Exception using the throw statement - U can't catch an exception by using the throw keyword so unless it is something else, this is also wrong.
So, B is the only correct answer!!
