The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Mutual exclusion ensures that only one process accesses a shared resource at a time, preventing conflicts. Progress guarantees that if no process is executing in the critical section, another process can enter. These two criteria are essential for the correct functioning of synchronization mechanisms.
