Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): Deadlocks occur in a multi programming environment when each thread in a set is waiting for an event that can be caused only by another thread in the same set. Reason (R): A thread must always request a resource before using it and release it after using it. If requested resources are not available, the thread enters a waiting state until the resources become free. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
• B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
• C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
• D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Hint:

Deadlock occurs due to circular wait among processes competing for limited resources.
