    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    If you put a finally block after a try and its associated catch blocks, then once execution enters the try block, the code in that finally block will definitely be executed except in the following circumstances:

    1. An exception arising in the finally block itself.
    2. The death of the thread.
    3. The use of System.exit()
    4. Turning off the power to the CPU.

     I suppose the last three could be classified as VM shutdown.
