For a method that reads data from a file, which two types of exceptions should be considered?

  1. FileNotFoundException and IOException

  2. NullPointerException and ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

  3. ArithmeticException and FileNotFoundException

  4. RuntimeException and Exception

The correct answer is: FileNotFoundException and IOException

A useful explanation would be When reading data from a file, two types of exceptions that should be considered are FileNotFoundException and IOException. FileNotFoundException is thrown when the specified file cannot be found and IOException is thrown when there is an issue reading the data from the file. The other options listed do not pertain to reading data from a file and should not be considered when trying to handle exceptions for this specific scenario.
