• D. A deadlock

Answer 1

The correct option is B Race condition

When the result of a computation depends on the speed of the processes involved there is said to be race condition.

A race condition generally occurs when two or more operations are being performed together.

A race condition is a behavior which occurs in software applications or electronic systems, such as logic systems, where the output is dependent on the timing or sequence of other uncontrollable events.

Example:- Light switch
