The code will execute successfully and 'Outer Raised' will be displayed.
The code will propagate the e_outer_excep back to the calling environmen
t (Application Express).
The code will fail to compile because e_inner_excep was declared but nev
er RAISEd.
The code will fail to compile because e_inner_excep cannot be referenced
in the outer block. (*)

It will fail to compile because you cannot declare more than one excepti
on in the same block.
It will fail to compile because e_excep1 is out of scope in the subblock
.
