When does the finally block get executed?

Immediately after the try block, regardless of exceptions
Only if no exceptions were thrown in the try block
After catch blocks, regardless of exceptions being thrown or caught
It doesn't execute if the application exits within the try block

The correct answer is: After catch blocks, regardless of exceptions being thrown or caught

The finally block will always get executed, regardless of exceptions being thrown or caught in the try block. Option A and B are both incorrect because the finally block will still execute, even if exceptions are thrown in the try block. Option D is also incorrect because the finally block will still execute before the application exits within the try block. The finally block is often used for code that needs to be executed, such as closing open resources, regardless of whether an exception occurs.
