Java Pre-assessment

So, I'm taking an online course in Java because I've never programmed in it before. In the section on exceptions, the pretest has this question:
Select the code in which an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurs and is properly caught.
  1. try {
  int intArray = new int[5];
  arr[7] = 5;
  System.out.println(arr[7]);
} finally {
  System.out.println("Finally Caught");
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
  System.out.println("Caught");
}
  2. try {
  int intArray = new int[5];
  arr[7] = 5;
  System.out.println(arr[7]);
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
  System.out.println("Caught");
} finally {
  System.out.println("Finally Caught");
}
  3. int intArray = new int[5];
arr[7] = 5;
System.out.println(arr[7]);
 catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
  System.out.println("Caught");
} finally {
  System.out.println("Finally Caught");
}
  4. try {
  int intArray = new int[7];
  arr[5] = 5;
  System.out.println(arr[7]);
  System.out.println("Finally Caught");
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
  System.out.println("Caught");
}

For those who aren't programmers, it's a trick question. I've highlighted in red the key to the trick.
