Q: Answer-Which of the following conditions is NOT required for a deadlock to occur?

Deadlock occurs when four specific conditions are met simultaneously mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption, and circular wait. Infinite loops in processes are not a prerequisite for deadlock, as deadlock refers to resource contention, not process logic errors. Deadlock Conditions Mutual Exclusion Only one process can use a resource at a time. Hold and Wait A process holding resources waits for additional ones. No Preemption Resources cannot be forcibly taken. Circular Wait Processes form a cycle, each waiting for a resource held by the next.
