If so, what is the code reference. and what is the clearance away from window assuming the window is designed to be opened. This question is from an NEC exam prep book.
Is there a specific code that prohibits RMC raceway from being installed outdoor near a window?

Welcome to the forum.
There are no clearance requirements for cables or conduits.

The only issue with distance from a window is if you have open conductors emerging from a conduit or cable (like coming out of a weatherhead). Conductors over the top of a window are considered out of reach.

That might depend on the window design & size.

The exception to 230.9 applies to all types of windows.
