A
NullPointerException.
💡 Explanation:
The getNamedDispatcher method expects a servlet name, not a path starting with a slash. Passing a path like /ServletB will fail to find the servlet and return null, causing a NullPointerException when dispatcher.forward is called on the resulting null reference.
