C# does not support checked exceptions. You can read up on why the original design did not include checked exceptions.

No, there's no such distinction in C#, nor in many other modern languages, even those that run in the JVM (such as Scala).

without the CLR itself supporting checked exceptions, it would be effectively impossible for C# to do so alone.

The last statement is not true, checked exceptions is a type-system feature, not runtime one. It's a Java feature, not JVM feature. – charlag Feb 07 '20 at 18:53
