      Question

      What is a deadlock in a computer system?

      A A situation where a process is terminated unexpectedly. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B A condition where two or more processes are waiting indefinitely for a resource held by each other. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C A state where a process is in a suspended state. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D A situation where a process becomes unresponsive. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A deadlock occurs when multiple processes are unable to proceed because each process is waiting for a resource that's held by another process in the group. This creates a circular waiting scenario, where none of the processes can release the resources they hold and therefore can't make progress.
