   A Java application throws a custom exception `PaymentGatewayTimeoutException` when a third-party payment gateway exceeds its response time. The exception is not currently marked as an error in AppDynamics, so these failures do not appear in the error dashboard. You need to ensure that this exception is captured as an error for the `Checkout` business transaction only. What should you do?

   • AModify the application code to rethrow the exception as a standard Java exception, then enable automatic error detection.
   • BCreate a custom exception detection rule that matches the exception class name and apply it to the Checkout business transaction.
   • CCreate a custom error detection rule that matches the exception class name and apply it to the Checkout business transaction.
