Why is my code bypassing my else if statement?

newbie in java here, just messing around with my project and noticed that my code output doesnt perform my else if loop. if i input the wrong answer to my quiz (A or C), there is no output and it will skip straight to my try block code.

however if i input the correct answer it will output the right code, its only if i input the wrong answer.

  @SuppressWarnings("resource")
                    Scanner keyboardInput = new Scanner(System.in);

                    String answer1 = keyboardInput.nextLine(); 
                    if(answer1.equals("B")) {
                    correctCount++;
                    System.out.println("----Thats the correct answer!----  +");
                    }
                    else if(answer1.equals("A" + "C")) {
                    System.out.println("Wrong answer, sorry");
                }


                    try{
                     doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
                     System.out.println("Next Question");
                    NodeList q2 = doc.getElementsByTagName("q2");

Thanks for any help! and i'm aware my code may be messy aha
