What exception is thrown when trying to access an array with an out-of-bounds index?

NullPointerException
IndexOutOfBoundsException
ArrayStoreException
NoSuchElementException

The correct answer is: IndexOutOfBoundsException

An IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown when trying to access an array with an index that is outside its bounds. This could occur if the index provided is a negative number or larger than the size of the array. None of the other options are relevant to this specific scenario. A NullPointerException is thrown when trying to access an object that is null, not an array. An ArrayStoreException is thrown when trying to store an incompatible object type into an array. A NoSuchElementException is thrown when trying to retrieve an element from an empty collection or when an iterator reaches the end of a collection. These exceptions may be related to array manipulation but are not specific to accessing an array with an out-of-bounds index.
