A set of processes is deadlock if ?

  • A. each process is blocked and will remain so forever
  • B. each process is terminated
  • C. all processes are trying to kill each other
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Deadlock occurs when processes are permanently blocked because each is waiting for a resource held by another process in the set. Termination is not required for a deadlock; the processes typically remain active but unable to proceed.
