What will be the output of the program? 

public class TestDogs 
{
    public static void main(String [] args) 
    {
        Dog [][] theDogs = new Dog[3][];
        System.out.println(theDogs[2][0].toString());
    }
}
class Dog { }
null
theDogs
Compilation fails
An exception is thrown at runtime
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The second dimension of the array referenced by theDogs has not been initialized. Attempting to access an uninitialized object element (System.out.println(theDogs[2][0].toString());) raises a NullPointerException.
