A deadlock avoidance algorithm dynamically examines the __ to ensure that a circular wait condition can never exist.

  • A. a) operating system
  • B. b) resources
  • C. c) system storage state
  • D. d) resource allocation state
Correct Answer: D. d) resource allocation state
This means it looks at the current allocation of resources to processes and the maximum resource needs of each process to determine if granting a resource request would lead to a deadlock. By analyzing this information, the algorithm can prevent deadlock by denying requests that could potentially create a circular wait.

The Banker's Algorithm is a classic example of a deadlock avoidance algorithm.
