Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Output Positive infinity - This option is incorrect. The code attempts to divide 10 by 0, which results in a runtime exception, not positive infinity.

Option B) Output Negative infinity - This option is incorrect. The code attempts to divide 10 by 0, which results in a runtime exception, not negative infinity.

Option C) Will fail to compile - This option is incorrect. The code will compile without any issues.

Option D) Runtime exception - This option is correct. The code attempts to divide 10 by 0, which is not a valid arithmetic operation in Java. This will result in a runtime exception being thrown (specifically, an ArithmeticException with the message "divide by zero").

The correct answer is D) Runtime exception. This option is correct because trying to divide by zero in Java results in a runtime exception.
