What exception is thrown when an invalid format conversion is used?

FormatException
ConversionException
IllegalArgumentException
InvalidConversionException

The correct answer is: IllegalArgumentException

The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the exception that is thrown when an invalid format conversion is used. FormatException is a standard exception used for issues related to formatting and parsing, but it is not specific to conversion errors. ConversionException and InvalidConversionException are not standard exceptions and are not commonly used in programming languages. IllegalArgumentException is also not specific to format conversions and is typically used for cases where an argument passed to a method is invalid.
