A relationship between processes such that each has some part (critical section) which must not be executed while the critical section of another is being executed, is known as

  • A.semaphore
  • B.mutual exclusion
  • C.multiprogramming
  • D.multitasking

Answer: B

Correct answer: mutual exclusion

Mutual exclusion is the requirement that no two processes be inside their critical sections at the same time, so that a shared resource is never updated by two of them at once. A semaphore is one mechanism for enforcing it, not the property itself.
