How does the generator.throw(GeneratorExit) method differ from generator.close()?
A:
They are equivalent in functionality
B:
generator.throw(GeneratorExit) raises a GeneratorExit exception in the generator, while generator.close() terminates the generator
C:
generator.close() raises a GeneratorExit exception, while generator.throw(GeneratorExit) terminates the generator
D:
generator.throw(GeneratorExit) and generator.close() are not valid methods
Answer: B
generator.throw(GeneratorExit) raises a GeneratorExit exception in the generator, indicating that the generator should be closed. generator.close() terminates the generator without raising an exception.

A:
They are equivalent in functionality
B:
generator.throw() raises a specific exception in the generator, while generator.close() terminates the generator
C:
generator.close() raises a StopIteration exception, while generator.throw() terminates the generator
