Final answer:

The exception's stack trace does not include instructions on handling the exception. It contains a descriptive message, the method-call stack, and the name of the exception. Handling instructions must be provided by the programmer.

Step-by-step explanation:

One option that is not included in an exception's stack trace is D.) Instructions on handling the exception. When an exception occurs, the stack trace provides a report of the active call stack which includes:

  • A descriptive message for the exception, which can help understand what went wrong.
  • The method-call stack at the time the exception occurred, showing the sequence of method calls that led to the exception.
  • The name of the exception, which identifies the type of exception that was thrown.

Instructions on how to handle the exception are not part of the stack trace; instead, they are provided by the programmer who writes the exception-handling code using constructs like try-catch blocks.
