Hi, can you please clarify why this option is considered as correct?

Every case must return a value.


if the case statement throws an exception. How this can be considered as returning value?
in this example I believe case C does not return value instead it throws an exception.

Please clarify...

The "must return a value" is applicable only when the expression evaluation is completed normally. In case of an exception, the expression does not complete normally.
It is like saying a method whose return type is String must return a String. But the following method will compile even though it does not return a String:
String m(){
if(true) throw new RuntimeException();
}

But your point is valid, the option should mention this possibility to be correct. Will update.

thank you for your feedback!

Switch expression can return void. How about that?
This goes against the correct answer: Every case must return a value or throw an exception.

switch ("A"){
default -> System.out.println("");
}

No, a switch expression cannot return void. It is not an expression in that case, it is a switch statement. Please go through the detailed explanation provided at the bottom of the question. It explains the difference between a switch statement and a switch expression.
