In object-oriented terms, an exception may be considered a(n) _____

In object-oriented terms, an exception may be considered a message.

A message is a request for an action to be performed. In object-oriented programming, messages are sent between objects. When an exception is raised, it is essentially a message that is sent to the program’s exception handler. The exception handler can then decide how to handle the exception.

The other options are not correct.

• A child is an object that is created from another object.
• Encapsulation is the process of hiding the internal details of an object from the outside world.
• A scalar type is a data type that can only hold a single value.

I hope this helps!
