Final answer:
b) The exit() function of the sys module.To cancel the execution of a program in the catch clause of a try statement in Python, use the exit() function from the sys module.
Step-by-step explanation:
To cancel the execution of a program in the catch clause of a try statement, you would use the exit() function of the sys module. This means the correct answer is the option (b) The exit() function of the sys module. When you call sys.exit(), the Python interpreter terminates the current process.
It is a way to exit a program when an exception is caught, and no further recovery or execution is desired. The exit() function can also take an optional argument to return an exit status code to the system.
Other options provided in the question, such as the cancel() function of the sys module or a built-in cancel() function, do not exist in Python. The built-in exit() function can also be used, but it is typically used in the interactive interpreter shell and is not recommended for use in programs as it raises a SystemExit exception. The rest of the given options are not directly related to exiting a program's execution in a catch clause.
