Answer 2

In an ‘operating system’, a situation in which a ‘task’ cannot proceed because this is waiting for an event that will never occur is known as deadlock.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

A deadlock can be referred as a process which got happened in an operating system where 2 or more than 2 processes require some resources in order to complete the execution that got held up by the other process. It is much better to avoid deadlock than preventing it.

The system checks should be done regularly to avoid these deadlocks. Several conditions are there, where the deadlock will be occurred. Hold and wait, mutual exclusion, circular wait, no preemption.
