Question

A solution to the critical-section problem must satisfy:

• A. Mutual exclusion
• B. Progress
• C. Support Vector Machine
• D. Bounded waiting

Hint:

In the critical-section problem, the three necessary conditions are mutual exclusion, progress, and bounded waiting, not unrelated techniques like SVM.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the critical-section problem, we must ensure that multiple processes can share resources without interference while ensuring that the system remains fair and efficient. - **Mutual exclusion** is required to prevent two processes from entering their critical sections at the same time. - **Progress** ensures that if no process is in the critical section, one of the processes should be allowed to enter. - **Bounded waiting** ensures that a process does not wait indefinitely to enter the critical section. **Support Vector Machine (SVM)** is a machine learning algorithm and is not a requirement for solving the critical-section problem. Step 2: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is **1. A, B, and D only**.
