B. try, throw, catch

Detailed Explanation

Answer: (B) try, throw, catch

The basic flow of C++ exception handling is:

1. try: The code that may generate an exception is placed inside the try block.

2. throw: When an exceptional condition occurs, an exception can be generated using throw.

3. catch: A suitable catch block receives and handles the thrown exception.

Therefore, the basic conceptual order is try → throw → catch.
