A Correct answer
Explanation

The code IS legal. When overriding a method, Java allows the subclass to narrow the declared exception types - ExceptionB is more specific than ExceptionA (its parent). This follows the principle that subclasses can be more restrictive but not more permissive than the superclass contract.
