Explanation

Option C is correct because Python's try: block is specifically designed as the container for code that might raise an exception - it's the "guarded" zone where the interpreter watches for errors. If an exception occurs inside try:, Python immediately jumps to the matching except: handler instead of crashing.

Option A is wrong because the except: branch is where you handle the exception after it's already been raised - not where the risky code lives. Option B is a distractor: exception: is not a valid Python keyword at all, so this branch doesn't exist in the language.

Memory tip: Think of try as "try this risky thing" and except as "except when it goes wrong, do this instead" - the order of the words mirrors the order of events.
