What is the use of header

A.
Contains the standard exception files
Answer
B.
Contains the standard library files
C.
It is used to arise an exception in the program
D.
Reduce the memory size

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The <exception> header in C++ is specifically designed to handle errors and unusual situations that occur during the execution of a program.
It defines a hierarchy of standard exception classes, such as std::exception, std::bad_alloc, std::runtime_error, and others.
These classes are used to represent different types of errors and provide a way to report and handle them gracefully.
Option B is incorrect because <exception> doesn't contain all standard library files.
Option C is partially correct, as exceptions can be raised, but <exception> primarily *defines* the exception classes, not directly raise them (though you can throw instances of these classes).
Option D is incorrect because <exception> has nothing to do with reducing memory size. Its purpose is for error handling.
